From conducting skills workshops on a number of subjects, through to providing one to one mentoring and opportunities to individual students, her knowledge and guidance has been exceptionally important.

"When I met Linzi we had an instant connection - two northern girls sat in a room chatting as if we had known each other a lifetime. She is the only person I have ever known to get a round of applause in a meeting, she's that good!
