"As a Welsh speaker, Swansea University and Coleg Cymraeg have offered me incredible opportunities, to be part of the S4C documentary 'Nurses' by following my student journey in the first year of the nursing course. It was an unforgettable experience. I have also been given opportunities to represent the Coleg Cymraeg and Swansea University by sharing my experiences as a nursing student with prospective students in schools as they consider their next step after A levels."
