Alongside my studies, I am the Social Secretary for the Department of Chemistry and Natural Sciences, and School Rep for Natural Sciences.

Acting as a mediator between students and our lecturers is a challenge I enjoy. I also run Peer Assisted Learning Sessions for one of my Physics modules.

I am a Level 6 Football Referee. Serving as a Football Officiating Hub Manager with Loughborough Sport and the Coaching and Volunteering Academy means I regularly get to put this qualification and passion to good use.

During my time here at Loughborough, I have grown so much – personally and professionally. I’ve grabbed every opportunity to take on leadership roles and make a real impact within the University community. Along the way, I’ve gained so much experience and expertise while building an amazing network of friends and colleagues.

Looking back, I can see the sensational impact my time as a student has already had on me. I feel like I’ve found myself and my people here.
