Hi! I'm an ABW student living in accessible accommodation in Lincoln Courts, attending several creative societies (e.g. Creative Writing, Poetry) and have worked as a Student Ambassador for the uni since January 2025. As a disabled person, I had a lot of worries about attending university, but I've absolutely loved my time here so far. I would love to help others with similar concerns find ways to make university something that works for them as well as it has for me!

After I graduate, I would love to work with dogs or wildlife! I love volunteering with animals and travelling to new places around the world. I enjoy being part of societies and meeting new people!

Zoology and Animal Studies
I wasn't always sure which direction I wanted to take. My background was in biomedical science with the NHS. Leaving this behind to travel in my 20s changed this trajectory and inspired me to study Zoology. Meeting incredible scientists and visiting conservation projects sparked a passion for the natural world and its protection.
This experience led me to pursue a degree in zoology as a mature student. I have learned about the delicate balance in ecosystems and the pressing need for conservation efforts. I am hoping to build a career in this field. I am passionate about making a difference for our planet and inspiring others to connect with and protect the natural world.
