Fiona said: “I am very pleased to have received offers from all of my university choices. My work experience in handling both small and large animals, along with school leadership roles such as language ambassador and peer mentor have all really shown the admissions teams my passion for wildlife.”
Alongside her studies, Fiona has been a keen member of our Aspiring Medics Programme, acted a Modern Languages ambassador, trained as a school lifeguard, acted as a peer mentor, trained with Cornwall’s top chefs as part of ‘Taste at Truro High’ and undertaken work experience at Dartmoor Zoological Park. Last summer, Fiona ran the equivalent of a marathon in three days to support the park when Covid-19 caused it to lose hundreds of thousands of pounds in critical funding.
Fiona hopes to pursue a career in wildlife conservation and is now one step closer to making that dream a reality.
