Who are you and what is your role in the Coventry University Group?
My name is Antonia and I am the Student Counsellor at CU London. As such, I get to offer therapeutic support to student who go through tough times, encourage different ways of coping, and explore ways forward. I love what I do and find it a true privilege to walk alongside so many amazing individuals.
Something else about yourself?
I am a German with a Canadian (-ish) accent, having lived in Britain for about 15 years.
I am a long distance runner and recharge best with my Garmin watch on, and my earphones in (as I compete with myself, which is a surprisingly satisfying experience).
Something you learnt during the pandemic or something you started (or stopped) doing that you would like to keep doing (or not doing)
As an extrovert, I surprisingly enjoyed life slowing down. I have been working on ways to preserve some elements of this slower pace of life.
Though I absolutely loved having our three young-ish children around more, I remembered why I never homeschooled previous to the pandemic. Teachers deserve medals!
