I graduated from Ringwood Waldorf School in 2017 and now live in Dorset, where I work as a freelance mural artist and designer. After leaving Ringwood Waldorf School, I found myself torn between my love for music and my passion for art. Ultimately, I chose to study art and illustration, but music remains a huge part of my life. In my spare time, you’ll often find me writing songs, playing music, or taking long walks in nature.

Looking back, my time at Ringwood Waldorf School was unforgettable and profoundly shaped who I am today. The freedom I was given to explore myself as a person, rather than being guided solely by career ambitions or university targets, is something I hold dear. The education I received was about understanding my own needs as a human being, and that focus has stayed with me ever since.

This approach to learning taught me to ask deeper questions about life. After leaving Ringwood Waldorf School, I quickly became aware of societal pressures—choosing a degree, finding a corporate job—but amidst all that noise, I could always return to the core question: Who am I, and what do I need? That foundation of self-awareness continues to guide me in my life and work.
Some of my happiest memories are from my time at Ringwood Waldorf School. Every day felt like an adventure, but the school trips and Erasmus exchanges stand out the most.

These experiences not only gave me a love of exploration but also allowed me to connect with people from diverse nationalities and cultures. I learned that differences in race or culture are never barriers; humans have a remarkable ability to connect beyond language. Through these adventures, I gained lifelong friends and a fresh perspective on the world.
