Representing Loughborough Lacrosse was a major part of my university experience and something I am immensely proud of. It gave me a sense of purpose outside my studies, helped me feel part of a community, and created countless friendships and social opportunities while keeping fit.
Most of my time at university was spent studying or playing lacrosse, with a short period working at Project Doughnut. Looking back, there are opportunities I wish I’d taken more advantage of, but the experiences I did have helped me grow both personally and professionally.
Across my time studying at Loughborough and my year abroad, I developed strong organisational and time‑management abilities, teamwork skills through lacrosse and group work, and confident communication skills from presenting and collaborating with different people. These experiences made me more well‑rounded and gave me plenty of examples to draw on in interviews, far more than I’d have gained through studying alone.
