Loughborough has truly inspired me. Being surrounded by athletes and like-minded individuals has shown me that with grit and determination, anything is possible. The success of the university's students and alumni illustrates the exceptional support Loughborough provides, helping you to always strive for the best version of yourself.

One of my greatest achievements is to have received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Rag (the University's charity sector), for my contributions over the last 5 years. Rag was where I found my 'Loughborough Family', and it was extremely special to receive this.

There are too many favourite things to name about Loughborough! I loved having access to the world-class facilities, being able to balance sport, societies, going out and work, as well as having friends from all over the globe.
