I am enthusiastic in helping and advising students who are currently studying at UEA and those who want to study at UEA.

BSc Ecology
UEA provided the place for me to get to know myself and be myself - Do different is UEA’s motto - and it helped us all be individuals. I met so many different people and did so many things. I learnt more about the academic and social side of life from this one place. The atmosphere was always friendly and no one felt like a stranger at UEA. I worked at the Union Bar, helped out with clubs, attended great lectures and even kept fit! There is no better place to be for that part of your life! It’s a place where I worked and played hard!
