I was initially interested in studying sports science, but after talking to bioscience lecturer at a Loughborough Open Day, I felt that the biological sciences course was the one for me. This was mainly due to its more scientific focus on the functions and processes of the human body, with a link to sports and exercise.
During my degree I was keen to complete a placement. I secured a role in the biomechanical gait analysis lab at the University of Salford, but the lab was unable to operate as a result of COVID-19.
Fortunately, my placement tutor helped me to find work in a similar field, as a running technique coach at FixMyRun. Based in Salford Quays, the company coaches clients in correct running and movement techniques, as well as rehabilitated through injury.
