Who has helped you most since you came to Northumbria?

My friends I made in the women's hockey club. It's like a family and everyone helps each other out and looks after each other.

Learning about food!

Work consistently and dont leave things til the last minute.

I would like to launch my own health foods business. My course and my love for health and fitness has helped lead me onto a career path that I look forward to. I have learned many skills but the most valuable is my organisation and confidence which has developed throughout my degree.

Have you worked on any projects with businesses or been on a placement? What were your most memorable experiences?

I worked on a placement in second year and found that it brought all I had learnt in class and applied it to industry so I could understand it fully.
