I decided to join engineering because I didn't see people that I could relate to. I thought, why not me?
Every day really, I have a moment where I just look around and think, this is the place for me. This is all meant to be.
Law's never been an abstract thing for me. It's always been something I've been able to see in the communities I'm in.
If you told me ten years ago that I would have a PhD, I would not believe you.
I've always been a Star Wars fan. To be able to be an art director on one of the series was truly a childhood dream come true.
My name's Christian Weaver. I'm a barrister.
I'm Samantha Woods, a relationship director at Barclays.
I'm a wildlife communicator for the National Trust.
An assistant engineer and project manager at AMEY.
I'm an Art Director in the film industry.
Nottingham Trent University helped me get to where I am now, and for that reason, I will always be grateful.
