What is your idea of a perfect meal?

As an athlete I should probably say something healthy, but for me my perfect meal would be any sort of Italian food like pizza or pasta.

What is your favourite way to relax?

Typically I will either draw or lie in bed and watch a good film with snacks.

What is your greatest extravagance?

Probably my vaulting poles which are in the region of £500 each. This year, however, I have been lucky enough to have sponsors to cover my poles and travel expenses.

Do you have any pets?

Yes, I have two Jack Russell dogs named Lola and Reggie, and a cat called Daisy.

What is your greatest achievement?

Recently, I qualified to represent England at the SIAB schools international competition at the English Schools Championship, which for me is my greatest achievement to date.

What is your favourite time of the year?

Summer, because there is no school and the weather is warm. Sometimes, at least.

What is the first job you ever had?

I currently work as a kitchen porter at Sir Norman’s Bar, at the Sefton Hotel, Douglas Promenade.

I get moderate claustrophobia, so small spaces and rooms without windows scare me.

Laughing way too much at anything and everything which tends to annoy people.

What is your favourite book?

What is your favourite band/artist at the moment?

I have so many favourites but if I had to choose one I think I’d have to say Twenty One Pilots.

What is your favourite part of the Isle of Man?

I like the views and always being close to the sea. I also like how secure the island is and there is very little extreme crime.

What is the last show/band that you saw live?

I’ve never seen any live performances but hope to go to music festivals and live gigs in the near future.

If time/money were no object, what would be your perfect day?

I’ve always wanted to travel the world so if it were possible to do that in one day, that is how I’d spend it.
