I am currently working as an Agile Coach. I had a passion for technology which fed into my career choices. This landed me in a number of great IT companies over the years.

Warwick had some great societies and I bet still does. I discovered that I really enjoyed martial arts at university, the intellectual elements, getting sweaty and the fantastic social side. In particular, foundation jui jitsu and ITF tae kwondo.

Advice I wish I had been given back in the day; do leverage your professors, post grad mentors and friends to get the most out of study groups. Put in as many hours outside of lectures as in them. Be kind to yourself and others. Have fun but find a balance in your life. Use the library.

The learning doesn't end with university, keep a growth mindset and your potential is without limit.
