I studied Level 2 Sport in 2016, then moved onto Level 3 in 2017, and left a year early in 2018 to pursue full-time work. I was based at the Gillingham Campus.

Can you share a memorable moment or experience that has stuck with you?

One memorable moment was when my college tutors offered immense support during a tough time in my life at 16, helping me push through and pass despite the challenges I faced.

What advice would you give current students?

It’s easy to feel like your GCSE results define your future, but that’s not true. With hard work and commitment, you can succeed in ways beyond just exams. Don’t give up on your dreams.

How has MidKent College helped shape your personal and professional life?

MidKent College played a key role in shaping my personal and professional life. I struggled in school and didn’t know what I wanted to do, but through a discovery of customer service, I found my passion. After leaving college, I returned in 2019 as an apprentice in Customer Service Level 2 at the reception. It was here that I truly found my career path. I’ve now been working at MidKent College for nearly five years, with a brief break in between, and continue to thrive in something I love.
