UCL and London

I am a Human Resources Project Officer in the UCL Human Resources Policy and Planning team.

It seems like ages since I went for my interview for an Olympic volunteer role. It was actually February last year and November when I got told that I had been accepted as part of the Transport Workforce Operations Team at the ExCel.

I am a Professor of Speech Sciences in UCL Speech, Hearing and Phonetic Sciences. 

I’ve watched the Olympics since I was a kid so as soon as I heard that London had been successful with its bid, I was determined to be part of the Games.

I work in the Division of Psychology & Language Sciences at UCL. I volunteered during the Olympics as a mobility team member based at the main stadium. I assisted less able spectators from the buggy stops to their seats, which was often quite a distance.

I am the PA to UCL’s Vice Provost (Operations) and I volunteered for two weeks at the Eton Dorney Olympics venue.

Daniella Afeltra, a third year student at the UCL Institute of Archaeology, talks about her exciting role at the London 2012 Olympic Rowing Regatta.

I was fortunate enough to be based in the Athletes Village during the 2012 Olympic Games. 

I led a study, on behalf of a team from the Eastman Dental Institute, to investigate the oral health of elite athletes and the impact of oral health on training and performance. The study was conducted with the London 2012 Polyclinic Dental team, led by Professor Fortune from Bart’s and the London NHS Trust.

Three UCL students are carrying the torch on 22 July. Listen to this special edition of the UCL Student Podcast, featuring all three of the UCL torchbearers.
