What is your job title and how long have you worked at Loughborough?

I am the Web and Digital Intern and I’ve worked here five months.

Tell us what a typical day looks like for you?

I start my day like most, with a coffee (an Americano with oat milk and three sugars if you’re wondering). I then like to do all my admin in the morning – emails, updating excel documents and planning the different projects I want to tackle that day. I then might be off to create some social media content, film a podcast episode or go on a shoot. Lunch is usually with the other interns. It’s always fun to see the different things everyone gets up to and catch up when we can. The end of the day is always a bit quieter and when I get to churn out some tasks on the back end of the University’s website, deal with digital signage requests and complete some edits.

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

It’s really hard to pick a favourite. I enjoy anything I work on which is down to the amazing teams I work with and the knowledge that gets passed down to me. I think my favourite project has to be the Loughborough Swimmers Headshots, just as I was able to see them through to the end, from the shoot into post production. The social media content I get to help out with is super fun too! It’s always slightly chaotic and thinking with fast feet which I love.

What is your proudest moment at Loughborough?

I think seeing my work around campus or on social media. It’s the satisfying feeling of knowing that was me and being able to see the positive impact of what I do.

Tell us something you do outside of work?

I’m a Youth Leader at my church and a kids camp manager which is very funny to think as I would still like to class myself as a child but I love developing and helping the next generation grow… and having fun!

What is your favourite quote?
