Linda Di Marco

I am 24 years old. Currently I am studying Graphic Design part-time at Bedford College and I hope to get into full-time work. I also volunteer in the Engagement and Development office at Bedford Borough Council doing various office tasks once a week.

My short-term ambition is to find admin work in an office, but my long-term goal is to get a degree in Graphic Design and become a freelance graphic designer. I like art and in my spare time I love to draw and paint pictures. I also love music. My other hobbies are stamp collecting, shopping, and reading.

My biggest inspirations are those unsung heroes who do wonderful things for society and yet go unnoticed and unrewarded. But if I had to pick one person as my inspiration, I would say the late Princess Diana. She's an inspiration to me because she was not only beautiful and stylish, but also cared a lot about people who were much worse off than her and she went out of her way to be with them. In particular her campaign against landmines was truly inspirational. She was also a good mother, and I hope to be as good as her when I have children of my own.
