I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2020 with a degree in journalism before deciding to hone my skills and pursue a masters in International Management and Marketing. I decided to come to Sheffield following an inspiring open day and having loved my time here, I am now excited to engage with prospective students and hopefully inspire them in a similar way. 

My university experience outside of academia has consisted of being an active member of the university Netball Club playing in BUCS and Varsity, being a key committee member and teaching Netball in primary schools. I have also volunteered with local charities through the Sheffield Students Union 'Skill Share' scheme which allowed me to both help a good cause and develop my skills. This year I was also pleased to have been a Postgraduate Student Ambassador, gaining valuable experience of virtual events, a great introduction to my role of Student Recruitment Assistant. 

My favourite thing about Sheffield is the parks and green spaces and proximity to the Peak District, going for a walk with friends is the best way to unwind and there really is no better place to be.
