Digital Student Ambassador

Hi my name is Shannon and I'm studying Early Childhood studies in Chelmsford.

Living in the Student Village is a great experience where you can meet new people from around the world. I have made some great friends and lifelong memories and I am looking forward to making many more during my time at ARU.

Alongside my course I enjoy going out and socialising with my friends and also going home to see my family.

I am a student ambassador in my spare time which I enjoy doing as I meet new people every day and when we have visitors, I hope I encourage them to follow their dreams by telling them a bit about my experience and what they can achieve at uni!
