Get to know Caitlin...
What I studied
I studied BA(Hons) Primary Education with QTS.
My favourite thing about St Mary’s
I love how small and connected St. Mary's is. Everyone is so friendly!
What I’m looking to achieve this year
I am looking forward to bringing back some of my favourite things about St Mary's that were lost due to covid. I want to make sure that St Mary's is a place where every student feels safe and secure, knowing where to go to ask for help whenever they need it.
One tip for making the most out of St Mary’s
Don't be afraid to speak to new people. At the start, everyone's in the same boat and looking to meet new people and make memories. Make the first move!
My best Simmie memory
It's so hard to choose just one memory as I loved my time as a student, but karaoke in the SU lounge has to be one of the highlights!
