Who am I?
- About Joe
What was your experience of Further/Higher education like?
I first started in 2009 but then withdrew in 2011 as I realised I was not ready for university (it is okay to take your time with this!). Took a year out and worked as a full-time tennis coach and then I reapplied in 2012 at Leeds Beckett on Psychology BSc and graduated in 2015. Through this, I learnt to take my time with things, that I don’t need to rush and I can do things at my own pace and still be successful.
What do you like most about your work as a Student Adviser?
As a student adviser, I take great satisfaction in helping students navigate their academic journey and achieve their goals. I enjoy providing support and guidance, empowering students to overcome challenges and reach their full potential. The most rewarding aspect of my role is witnessing their growth and success.
What's a surprising or interesting fact about yourself?
Most people know I’m very much a countryside kind of person and love nature and being in the fresh air and I always said I could never live in London because it’s too big and too busy. I’m now living my best life in London!
