Student award

To my pride, pleasure and surprise the director of research studies has recommended me for an award from the AOUG, an award that goes to a final year student. She says it's due to my

• recent recognition via conference papers,
• constant engagement with social media and communication tools to speak to wider communities about your research,
• service as an AL "alongside your studies and your active role in the programme".

I don't know what the award involves but I'm flattered to be nominated, especially given the struggle I had in the MRes year to write essays, and the difficulty I had to persuade the PhD interview board that I was a worthy candidate.
