25 years old and I suffer from a slightly obsessive sporting disorder. Undertook my BA in Film & Journalism at the University of Queensland where I played rugby union in the Queensland Premiership. I hold three passports (Australia, Trinidad & Tobago, Portugal) and have represented T&T in cricket, rugby and equestrian. Worked for McCann Erickson as a copywriter and consider the Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack absorbing reading.
