What do the Student Life and Guidance (SLG) Team do? 

The SLG team can meet with you face-to-face and online if you are experiencing any issues you would like to discuss. The team may be able to assist you with your issue or can signpost you to other services if necessary.

What’s one fact about you from your uni days? 

I found out after I left that they would use my coursework to show other students what a good piece of work looks like. 🤓 

What’s one piece of advice you want to give to students? 

Prioritise – you can’t do everything so you have to choose what matters to you most. 

If you were to go back and study again now, what subject would you choose? 

I haven’t exactly left my studies yet! But I would go back and study veterinary medicine – any excuse to be around animals.
