Netball: I have been playing netball since 2017 and have played with two clubs with very high success rates due to all of us working as a team. As of 2022 I have umpired many games, which contributes to leadership skills, knowledge of rules, quick decision-making, an ability to explain and defend decisions and a willingness to keep the game moving at a steady pace. I enjoy the game of netball because its a community and allows me to have a sense of empathy towards others. 

Music: Music has been apart of my life ever since I was young. As of now I play three instruments, clarinet, bass clarinet and tenor saxophone. Playing all of these has given me many skills. It had refined my time management skills, increased my responsibility and improves focus. Playing an instrument has also improved my patience and memory. While playing in the school band, it has also helped me in creating new friendships and has built my confidence. 

Tutoring: As of 2023 I have taken the opportunity to expand my skills and tutor a student in clarinet. I met my 'student' at a beginner workshop rum by my school. They loved it so much that they reached out to me and now I tutor her in all things music. The skills I have gained align with my love of music and sport. While they are a beginner, I have remained calm while teaching new skills. It has increased my listening skills, empathy and communication. Tutoring has definitely improved many aspects of me.
