Hazel is in her final year at the University of Malta on the small sunny island of Malta, where she is studying for an honours in European studies, with a subsidiary in Archaeology. She would be graduating end of November and will take a gap year to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico until she decides whether to continue with politics or museum studies.

Likes: Reading classics while its raining outside, dancing and clubbing in Paceville, running, helping backstage for musicals, pink mobiles and any form of soft-toy.

Dislikes: Procrastination ( though it's a skill of mine), mosquitos, window seats on a plane, and mortuary studies on Monday mornings at 8 am
