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

I’m a Gardener and have been for two years.

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

First, we get our tools, load up the gators and head out onto the West side of the campus to do a variety of tasks from mowing and hedge cutting to weeding and planting. The waste material is loaded onto the trailer and taken to the tip, and then we start again!

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

I started working on the Walled Garden last year, so I’m enjoying learning what plants we have there and how to care for them.

What is your proudest moment at Loughborough?

Probably getting trained to use the big Fendt tractor – it’s my favourite thing to drive!

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

I enjoy drawing and I have a design degree.

What is your favourite quote?

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work – Thomas Edison
