As written by the client

"I'm a chatty social person and so you need to be able to have a good conversation, as well as having a great sense of humour as I love to laugh (and I like to think I'll be able to make you laugh too)."

I am a person who loves to be busy, trying new things and going on all kinds of adventures. Whether that be trying new sports, going to the theatre, quiz nights or walks in nature - I'm usually up for anything. I ultimately like to make the most of life when my health allows.

I have been out of education for several years now but am excited to return to complete my PhD. I have complex physical and mental health needs which require intensive support.

I'm easy to get along with and plan to enjoy my time in London - and hope you'll make the most of the opportunity to enjoy it with me!
