I grew up in a small town called Warminster which is next to Longleat safari park. Once I had finished school I worked at the Halifax bank for a year. I then went to Lancaster University and completed my undergraduate studies where I got a first class BSc in Mathematics with Statistics. Following this I completed my MRes at Lancaster University in Statistics and Operational Research with a distinction. Outside of my studies I keep myself busy by playing underwater hockey for the university as well as walking my dog Moose. I have competed for the university in Roses which is the biggest inter-university competition in Europe. Twice for the underwater hockey team having won both times with the first time being the first win in the clubs history and the second time as the Captain. I also lead our team to our best result in student nationals where we came 7th. I have also competed in climbing at Roses. In my second year of my undergraduate I ran the Manchester Marathon. I am currently training to do an Ironman swim.
