My degree was BSc Geography with Economics with a placement year and I graduated in the summer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell us what a typical day in your job looks like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favourite project you\u2019ve worked on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;s 50th anniversary, so we are hoping to celebrate in style.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your proudest moment at Loughborough?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My proudest moment would probably be graduating in July or leading the Para &amp; Disability Sport Exec to win Team of the Year at the 10th Anniversary CVA Awards.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which University value&nbsp;do you most resonate with and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The value I resonate with most is adventurous. I&#8217;m always looking for ways to improve things, whether it&#8217;s an event or a process, and I&#8217;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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell us something you do outside of work that we might not know about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I summited Mount Kilimanjaro when I was 15, and I also play cricket for Loughborough Town CC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your favourite quote?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a firm believer in &#8220;Everything happens for a reason&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you would like to feature in \u20185 Minutes With\u2019, or you work with someone who you think would be great to include, please email Lilia Boukikova at L.Boukikova@lboro.ac.uk<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s your job title and how long have you been at Loughborough?
