Hello! I'm a 21 year old currently living in the West Midlands, UK. I have just moved here to start a job as a radiographer in the local hospital and it's all new to me! I don't know many people around here just yet so I'm hoping that sending and receiving swaps will make me feel a little less lonely.

I have a strong interest in feminism, LGBTQIA rights and disability awareness. In my free time I volunteer with an organisation that provides first aid to members of the public at large events. I'm also involved in event management and teaching first aid through this.

Although I'm not an awfully crafty person, I've recently moved into my own place and am desperate to try my hand at upcycling and DIY. I also love stickers, pretty papers and tapes that can be recycled into mail art to send my swaps with. One of the things on my bucket list is to learn to knit, but this hasn't proved very successful so far!

Please message me with any questions!
