Loved it was in the city such amazing buildings and where I met my husband. Still consider York as my second home.

Why did you choose York St John University or founder colleges?

I loved the idea of living in York it was the furthest away from home I’d ever been. I’d wanted to be an Occupational therapist since I was 13. I’m still one and love my job.

Once I graduated as an occupational therapist I returned to Essex where I was originally from and I’ve been a practising OT ever since 27 years and counting.
