I am really passionate about marine research and conservation. I hope to continue in academia after my degree to pursue a Master's or a PhD and to one day work in research! I also really enjoy combining my studies with my love for scientific diving and anything ocean-related, you're always very likely to find me underwater somewhere.

University of Plymouth
BA (Hons) Social Work (Full-time)
I am aware starting your university journey may seem daunting and perhaps lonely. Myself, having had moved to Plymouth from London can understand some of the concerns or fears around university life but hopefully my experience can ease some of your anxiety :)
I'm in my 1st year of social work and so far it's been an interesting learning experience! My placements have been very insightful and inspiring for my journey in social work, at this moment my interest is around working in children's services but im still enjoying exloring my placement with adults.
My previous studies being A-Level Psychology, Sociology and BTEC Health & Social Care has definetely contributed to my interest in this career path as I am intrigued in both sociological and psychological aspects of individuals with my favorites being around biopsychology and adverse childhood experiences.
The best thing about this degree is that it's extremely broad so there's an interest for everyone. for example, it covers subjects from the medical field, law, sociology, education and psychology which gives you unlimited opportunities to explore in the future and plenty of career choices!

MA Education
After graduating from my BA (hons) Education Studies degree in 2021, I went straight on to the MA Education course with the aim of networking and expanding my knowledge in regards to alternative education and outdoor learning- with a focus on England's secondary schooling system.
As I am studying part-time, I have been able to secure a job in the inclusion department of a South West secondary school which has enabled me to critically examine and apply the knowledge I have gained into my practice, whilst becoming more aware of the struggles and barriers in contemporary education. Although I am still exploring and navigating my way through career possibilities, my ambition is to utilise my passion for an alternative schooling system in whichever form that may take.
