Life before Warwick:

The drive and inspiration amongst the students who have worked in One World Week for the past months.

Worst thing about working at Warwick:
The library, including the opening hours on Sundays.

Lifelong ambition:
Never to say "I regret not doing that."

People are always surprised to learn this about me, but...
I don’t like balloons.
