I had my heart set on Loughborough as soon as I visited the campus. I trusted the BSc course would be challenging and encourage my love for psychology. Having been involved in sport from a young age, seeing sport and exercise embedded into the Loughborough experience reaffirmed that it would be a good fit for me.

On my undergraduate degree, the optional modules were vast, which gave me a lot of autonomy over following my interests, whilst also covering the core psychology components. I liked the attempts to vary the assessment methods, which challenged my creative side e.g., blogs, posters, presentations.

For my placement I was employed as Wellbeing and Development Assistant at Northampton Saints Rugby. I met so many wonderful people through my placement who helped me in my early career development, acting as mentors. The placement year also gave me the time to reflect on what I want my career to look like, and not look like, which has helped shaped my career path since.
