What’s your job title and how long have you been at Loughborough?

I’ve been in my role as LSU President since July 2025 and I joined Loughborough in October 2021 as an undergraduate. My degree was BSc Geography with Economics with a placement year and I graduated in the summer!

Tell us what a typical day in your job looks like?

No two days are the same, with a mix of training sessions and meetings involving departments across LSU and the University. Right now, much of our focus is on planning for the year ahead. I also spend a large part of my day speaking with students and staff to stay in the loop with everything happening on campus. 

What’s your favourite project you’ve worked on?

My Exec team and I are in the early stages of planning some events and projects which will hopefully be really exciting. This year is LSU’s 50th anniversary, so we are hoping to celebrate in style. 

What is your proudest moment at Loughborough?

My proudest moment would probably be graduating in July or leading the Para & Disability Sport Exec to win Team of the Year at the 10th Anniversary CVA Awards. 

Which University value do you most resonate with and why?

The value I resonate with most is adventurous. I’m always looking for ways to improve things, whether it’s an event or a process, and I’m not afraid to ask questions along the way. Working with new people motivates me, and I really enjoy seeing what can be achieved through collaborating with others. 

Tell us something you do outside of work that we might not know about?

I summited Mount Kilimanjaro when I was 15, and I also play cricket for Loughborough Town CC. 

What is your favourite quote?

I am a firm believer in “Everything happens for a reason”.
