I was a student at St Philomena’s myself from 2010-2017 and went on to Bournemouth University graduating in 2020. Once graduating I began working as a qualified Physiotherapist at East Surrey Hospital. Having struggled with making a career choice when I was at school, I am now practising Physiotherapy as a career. I am also an alumnae volunteer helping with Careers events guiding and mentoring current students on University, and the transition from University to Physiotherapy a career.
