My Kingston experience Before studying at Kingston University I lived in Australia for two years. I travelled there for my gap I tend not to look for inspiration when it comes year with a backpack and the intention to stay for to my work. I prefer coming across something, as long as I could. Whilst I was there I was hugely whether that be a place or an object and allow that to inspired by people’s everyday life, how they used inspire my designs. This is one of the reasons I love spaces in interesting ways, and the modern designs travelling so much as I am able to see different parts I came across. It was then I realised I wanted of the world and immerse myself in different cultures, to study interior design so I applied to Kingston which helps me channel my creativity.

30 31 My Kingston experience Studying nursing seemed a natural step for me. My mum works as a carer and both my sisters are nurses – one works in child nursing and the other in adult nursing – and they all said nursing would be a good fit for me. After carrying out some of my own research and seeking their advice on which area of nursing I would enjoy, I decided on learning disabilities. There’s a huge amount to learn on my course but I am enjoying every second of it. My lecturers are really keen for us to ask questions as they want us to develop our confidence and ensure everyone is getting the most out of their learning experience. The area I think I have developed the most is an understanding of what delivering good care looks like and how to put this into practice in my own work. I like how my lecturers structure the course. We are given our assignments before we go out on our placements. This means that when I am on my placement I am 100 per cent focused and I really get the most of the experience as I don’t have to worry about completing assignments at the same time. Something I am very passionate about outside of my course is music. I am also a hip-hop artist and write and perform my own material. Since being at Kingston I have worked closely with the Union of Kingston Students to set up the Hip-Hop Society. I wanted to bring together students who enjoy this genre of music and I think it’s really great that, although there are already loads of societies students can get involved in, if you have an idea and that society doesn’t exist, with the help of the Union, you can set it up yourself. Whilst on one of my placements I observed a I’m a nurse by day, music therapist working with some patients. I was fascinated to see music being used as a therapy tool. Who knows, it could be an area I look into in the future as it would combine my two biggest hip-hop artist by night passions – music and care.
