Inspiring student Tricia Marsh
Archaeology student Tricia Marsh is featured in Good Housekeeping Magazine as part of an article on 'Inspiring Women'.
Tricia, who decided to pursue her lifelong interest in Archaeology as she neared retirement from her career as a speech and language specialist, fit the bill.
A leaflet in her local library led Tricia to apply for our Undergraduate Certificate in British Archaeology, which she completed in 2011.
In the article, Tricia says 'Studying keeps my brain active and stimulates me. There is no way I would just spend this part of my life with my feet up. It's the perfect time to do something challenging.'
Tricia has now progressed to the Undergraduate Diploma in British Archaeology.
The article appears in the February 2014 issue of Good Housekeeping (UK), on page 36.
Commenting on her experience of being featured in a national magazine, Tricia said: 'I had an enjoyable day in London for the photo shoot, which was more difficult than you might imagine. I was a bit surprised to see that my interview ended up as a first-person narration - this is probably standard for this style of journalism. The speaking style isn't exactly mine - but the sentiment is spot-on!'
