I had a brilliant time studying Economics at Downing College and want to encourage students from all backgrounds to apply to the University so they can experience everything Cambridge has to offer. I’ve been working at Trinity Hall for over a year now and love seeing the passion and enthusiasm outreach staff and ambassadors across the University bring to our access work!
