About Clara

What was your experience of Further/Higher education like?

My experience of higher education was both very scary and incredibly exciting.  I transferred institutions part way through my degree which meant I was new when everyone else already knew each other.  It took me a long time to feel like I belonged and to settle in, but I have great memories of the people I studied with and learnt from.Ìý

What do you like most about your work as a Student Adviser?

I've worked as a student adviser in higher education for more than 20 years, I love my job! What I like most is getting to know students individually and making sure that they know that their own university experience is valued and important. It's important to me that students feel comfortable with me to be able to honestly share any concerns, and I love to share in their successes too.

What's a surprising or interesting fact about yourself?

I'm a twin.  My brother and I were the only vegetarians in our school when we were children!
