Having completed an MSc in Physiology and Nutrition of Sport and Exercise I now work at Loughborough University as a Postgraduate Teaching Assistant in Physiology and Nutrition, in a teaching capacity on the undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

I directly use my knowledge and expertise gained from the Masters’ degree every day, allowing me to pass it on to new students, and hopefully sharing my passion through laboratory teaching and student mentoring opportunities.

Throughout the course, I was able to learn how to use new equipment that I had never had access to before, including cardiorespiratory, body composition and physical health testing. These are now techniques I am familiar with and can teach others how to use.

I was also able to observe the research laboratories, which really inspired me in my own pursuit to complete a PhD. I’m now using those research labs myself!

It really helped with my personal and professional development. I am a more confident person, able to network with others, and now aim to pursue a career as a lecturer after my PhD.
