As a British national raised in Spain near the French border, I have really come to appreciate and value multilingual and diverse communities, like the one we have here in Romsey. I studied Spanish, Latin and English literature at university here in Cambridge, and then chose to settle here; I have been working in education alongside my degree and since graduating, for a total of seven years and counting. I have travelled extensively, including volunteering abroad for social projects, and also help run sports teams and community events in my local area, particularly focusing on the LGBT+ community.
