The lecturers that I worked closely with at Loughborough have been my role models. I'm lucky that now I get to call some of them my colleagues and collaborators!
My decision to study at Loughborough was actually driven by its sporting reputation. I played volleyball - sometimes every day - throughout my entire undergraduate and postgraduate career.
Highlights outside of the classroom have to be some of the trophies we lifted in major national competitions and the sheer joy of being part of a wider team of athletes who were taking home the BUCS honours year after year.
