What influence has Lancing had on your life?
Lancing was absolutely invaluable to me in building my confidence. In the Sixth Form I had the opportunity to do lots of public speaking from prayers in the Chapel, to speeches at events. Learning how to have confidence when public speaking has helped me hugely in my career, for example at the assessment centre I took part in for my current job, as well as day to day when presenting to my clients.

I played tennis, netball and hockey. I also took part in the Young Enterprise Scheme, which really taught me a lot about business.
