Towards a future in healthcare
Lavanya鈥檚 interest in healthcare stretches back to childhood, when she decided that a future career in nursing was her goal 鈥� and she鈥檚 held firm in this decision ever since.
鈥淲hen I looked at options for sixth form, I definitely had a nursing degree in mind,鈥� she said.
鈥淯CB really intrigued me because I was able to explore a range of A-level subjects but also opportunities and activities available that you might not necessarily have in other colleges.鈥�
For Lavanya, those opportunities have related to her future career goals, but have also allowed her chances for enrichment she hadn鈥檛 dreamed of.
鈥淏eing linked to a university with a lot of healthcare-related degrees available is great. The thread runs through college to university, and there are passionate staff with real-world experience working with fantastic facilities on campus,鈥� she said.
鈥淚 was also lucky enough to go on the trip to Singapore, and as a member of the student planning committee I鈥檓 helping to organise prom for the end of the year.鈥�
With plans to stay in Birmingham to study nursing, Lavanya is focused on her final exams 鈥� with one eye on the party afterwards.
鈥淚鈥檓 just really looking forward to making sure everyone has a great time after they鈥檝e worked so hard.鈥�
