Annabel Wright

Hi, I’m Annabel, and I’m one of the Student Recruitment Assistants for the University of Sheffield. Having recently graduated with a BA in History, I’m thrilled to be staying in such a great city and excited to share my university experience and advice with prospective students. 

During my time as a student in Sheffield, I started to work with my department as a History ambassador. It was this experience that made me realise that I enjoyed providing help and guidance to prospective students, and I am looking forward to building on this experience in the coming year. I also undertook various other non-academic activities while at the university, particularly enjoying volunteering. This included working with a local museum and a student organisation focused on helping the local homeless community. I really loved the fact I was able to get involved with the Sheffield community as well as the university community.

Besides volunteering, in my spare time I love to explore Sheffield (particularly new places to go out to eat) and go walking in the Peak district. One thing I like the most about the city is how there is always somewhere new to explore, whether that be in the city centre or in the surrounding area. I also love to do the odd swim and run, another great way to explore the city!
