    There was no point in studying for 3 A-Levels I was never going to use. I achieved 8 As and 2 Bs in my GCSEs. The College was perfect for me because I wanted to specialise in Music Production, which I couldn't do at school.

    I’m the only female in the class but I didn’t let this stop me from pursuing something out of my comfort zone. Tiling is a very creative trade so I curbed my hesitations by leaning on my background in Fine Art. This has helped me see things in a way others may not.
