Katie Brunt’s Interests:

I am training to become a qualified member of BSAC (British Sub Aqua Club). I attend practice sessions and am always looking to broaden my scuba dive knowledge through new courses. My achievements include doing a bungee jump and the publication of my poetry. My personal interests include photography and travel, including a planned around the world trip in 2009. I was involved in fundraising for the Lasallian Developing World Project and reached a target of £2,400 donation in a year. This was followed by five weeks in Ghana building sanitary facilities in a small rural town called Kaleo.
