I hold the position of Vice President of Welfare and Community, trying to engage students with the community. It’s a one year position and also focuses on ensuring students have the most enjoyable experience possible.

2. What makes Portsmouth University the place to be?

There are so many assets to the city. It’s so diverse, it’s fantastic. I have lived here for 3 and a half years; when I came here, I instantly fell in love with it. There’s always something to do in the city.

3. Describe an ideal weekend in Portsmouth

Right, Saturday would involve a sunny stroll down the Millennium walkway and a trip to the Arcades in Southsea where you could spend just a little too much! Then, on Sunday, I’d visit Gunwharf Quays and the Spinnaker Tower, of course! I remember a special graduation visit with my mum recently and the view was just amazing.
