“I’m also a member of the Colleges Elite Sports Programme, which means the college has helped me financially the cost of kit, travel and training. The staff have always been really supportive when it comes to playing sport both for the college and outside of the college, meaning I’ve never fallen behind with my studies.”

She is a calm and very thoughtful student who is always able to take a momentary step back to assess a situation and then deal with it in a very mature, objective and precise way.
