We interviewed first year Management with Marketing student Katie Batchelor about her Wakeboarding career recently.

She is the current UK Cable Nationals champion and has represented Team GB at 10 international competitions.

Asked why she chose to study at Royal Holloway, Katie said: "It's an amazing university and only five minutes away from the main UK wakeboarding sites- LBD wakeschool, JBSki and Liquid Leisure." If you would like to read more about Katie, read her article on the student intranet here.
