    My time in Cambridge has been full of exciting moments, good memories, and amazing people.

It’s a great way to be really involved with college life, from matriculation evensong at the start of the year to graduation at the end...

I’ve taken part in some really exciting projects despite COVID disruption, with highlights including three performances of...
