About Me

During my time at the University I have been a member of 5 different sports, ranging from sports I have played for many years and was delighted to continue, and new sports that I had never tried and was given great support in learning.
In the last 2 years I have gained experience from my role as Treasurer and Men’s Captain in Table Tennis, positions that have given me a valuable insight into how sport is run in the University, and provided me the desire to be more involved.
