1. Who you are and a bit of background: I grew up in Greenwich, South East London, before reading Politics at York. There I became a telethon fundraiser and a student newspaper editor, before staying on for another great year as a sabbatical officer with the students' union! 

2. Name of your host institution: UCL

3. Institution you studied at: University of York 

4. 1 achievement: As a sabbatical officer, I set up Activities Access Grants at the University of York. These enabled students to join clubs and societies no matter their ability or financial background. The grant offering is still growing - and another students' union has adopted the initiative! 

5. What you have done during the summer: I've rediscovered reading for pleasure... and yoga! As I write this, I'm on a family holiday in Cornwall; reconnecting with loved ones has been a priority this summer.
