As a performance athlete at Loughborough, I was able to find time for my heptathlete training and complete my modules. I biked to my courses and the HIPAC from my flat downtown and was able to enjoy a good mix of lifestyles. I was able to join the athletics club fine and the social atmosphere is very accommodating for all interests.
I have accepted a renewable energy position in the US and I hope to move up from there. I also hope to continue working with the Climate Compatible Growth organisation to enhance CLEWs and energy modelling. The greatest skill I've learned during my master's is certainly perseverance. Considering my economics/business background, some of the more geography focused modules were difficult for me but I was able to learn new software and programs that aid my CV. My advice to those considering my course would be to be ready to work hard but be rewarded with amazing skills.
