How did I get to where I am now and what I’d like to do in the future:
I was born in Exeter, grew up in Nottingham and moved to Cornwall about 10 years ago, where I ended up taking A Levels in Spanish, Geography and Biology at 6th Form. I then came to UWE to study Adult Nursing, and have now made it to the end of my final year.
In August of last year I went to Finland for 4 months to undertake a placement, it was an awesome experience and I made friends for life, and even got myself a Finnish family complete with pet reindeer! I’m still undecided about what I want to do in the future, but at the moment I am applying for jobs in A and E. I’d also love to travel and work for an aid organisation such as the Red Cross.
