Profile

I went to college for A-levels, I initially studied performing arts, but once I left I changed my mind and then I went on to join the ambulance service as a student paramedic. I worked full time, whilst doing my Paramedic degree, during COVID. I qualified as a Paramedic in 2021 and now work for South Central Ambulance Service as a Paramedic Mentor and Educator.

I gained my degree through the NHS trust I was working for I did a hybrid work/study plan.

Advice to students

The pathway you think you want right now, might not work out and that's perfectly ok. It's ok to change your mind as long as you work hard towards your goals you'll be fine.
