WHY HAVE YOU CHOSEN THIS PHOTO AS YOUR YSJ SNAPSHOT?

It summarises the strong friendships we had across music, dance and drama aka Core Module.

WHAT ARE YOUR FONDEST MEMORIES OF YORK ST JOHN UNIVERISTY?

Just the friendships I had that you no longer have once you have children and careers.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE YORK ST JOHN UNIVERSITY OR FOUNDER COLLEGES?

Close enough to my hometown but far enough to grow independence.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING SINCE COMPLETING YOUR STUDIES?

It lead into working in the CYC Arts department which lead to what I do today.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR SPECIFIC COURSE?

It seemed ideal at the time.

WHAT WERE THE BEST FEATURES OF YOUR COURSE?

The last year where I could chose my own studies for its modules.

WHAT ONE PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A CURRENT STUDENT, OR ONE ABOUT TO GRADUATE?

For current students I’d advise they keep an open mind and try everything possible in their course.

For graduates I’d say take a year out to travel before pursuing a career.
