The 22-year-old said: “I’m very proud of myself for gaining a first-class degree honours and commencing my first graduate employment.

“It has been difficult at times but I persisted and ensured that I planned my work in advance to allow time to complete each module to the best of my ability. The course did stretch my abilities and required a lot of sacrifice but it was all worth it.

“The support I received from UCLan has been fantastic. I received support with equipment, an individual support tutor and in exams I received support when required.”
