Your Top Advice for Students:

Enjoy yourselves, but take advantage of all the opportunities you can have whilst here and use the support services when you need them too.

Your Favourite Part of Aberdeen: I love to walk along the riverside at the RGU campus. You feel as if you are out of the city and I find the sound of nature and the running water really calming. If I go out for a walk at lunchtime it resets me for the rest of the day.

Favourite famous quote:

“If you are always trying to be normal, you’ll never know how amazing you can be.” — Maya Angelou
