The university scholarship scheme really benefitted me and allowed me to pursue both my degree and training full time. Through flexible study options and performance lifestyle support I could follow my dreams whilst also preparing for life after sport. I knew it was going to be challenging but the staff and lecturers were so supportive and helped me study at my own pace. Coming together as a team to compete and win gold at BUCS was also a highlight.
