Mae now wishes to be a PE Teacher, helping and watching others develop their sport into something amazing. Making this dream a reality, she now reads Sports Coaching at Leeds Beckett University.

Sports and Exercise Science

Doing a placement was one of the highlights of Mae’s time at Burnley College Sixth Form Centre. Given the opportunity to do a placement at a Primary School gave her the experience of teaching sports to children first-hand across all age ranges from reception to year six. In addition to this, Mae was part of the Elite Academy which allowed her to build her strength in and outside the pool. The Institute of Sport was something she found very intriguing and enabled her to see environments where Professional Athletes perform.
