What have you been doing since leaving Exeter, and what are you doing now?

I have been working at the Royal Brompton Hospital as a Respiratory Physiologist for the past 4 years. A lot of my role includes running CPETs with both athletes and patient populations.

Why did you choose this career? And what do you enjoy most about your work?

I had never heard of a respiratory physiologist until I saw the job description on NHS jobs which highlighted the exercise aspect of the role; linking closely to my degree. I enjoy the social aspect of my job the most, I am constantly meeting new people, whether they are patients or staff members from other departments.

Please tell us if you were a member of any societies, groups or sports clubs?

Women’s Football Sports Science Society.

NHS. I graduated BSc Sports science from Exeter in 2012, at that time, I was not exactly sure what career path that I would like to pursue. Therefore I studied MSc Sports science in Hong Kong as a part-timer and looked for a teaching assistant role at schools in Hong Kong.
