Describe yourself in three words: “Outgoing, nice and sporty”
What usually surprises people about you?
“A lot…Probably that I can play the flute”
How do you stay in shape?
“Football, gym, jogging, exercise sessions at home and most recently, yoga!”
Sum up your university experience in a phrase:
“Incredible, I wouldn’t change it for the world!”
Where is your favourite place to hang out in Norwich?
“Depends what mood I’m in, usually the bar at Uni, or on special occasions, the end of the walkway at the top of Suffolk terrace where you can look over the field and lake – I’d definitely recommend it if you’re stressed.”
What is your best UEA memory so far?
“There are way too many to choose from…but I think that it’s safe to say that they may be trumped by my upcoming 22nd birthday.”
What are your plans for after university?
“Well I’m not really swayed by money so I might look for something either with people in the public sector or with animals – anything abroad sounds amazing as well. But I’d also like something secretive like in MI6. I am more than happy to go with the flow and make the decisions when I come to them.”
