Her first production was a Coffee House Session that got cancelled but it was where she first met the lovely Steph who persuaded her to keep going to more productions. She then camera operated for International Student Association Performance night. She then went AWOL whilst she tried out different societies, and mostly, didn’t like them. | Her first production was a Coffee House Session that got cancelled but it was where she first met the lovely Steph who persuaded her to keep going to more productions.

After accidentally going to an admin meeting, she realised she wanted to be more involved on a committee. She then ran for Secretary in the 2018 elections and won (to her surprise!) but then again no-one else ran. She then got more involved by attending Roses 2018 in Lancaster and meeting other stations. | After accidentally going to an admin meeting, she realised she wanted to be more involved on a committee.

She is so glad that she stuck with YSTV and had a great year as Secretary reading all the terrible spam emails and starting to produce more productions such as Sixty Seconds with STYCs. She also accidentally ended up producing an entire Halloween Livestream all because she wanted to do pumpkin carving. | She is so glad that she stuck with YSTV and had a great year as Secretary reading all the terrible spam emails and starting to produce more productions such as Sixty Seconds with STYCs.
