Before studying in Belfast, Millie Light was a professional dancer who didn’t enter academia until she was a mature student - but a curve ball was thrown at her during her studies.
Millie started out her higher education journey with an undergraduate degree in English, a PGCE qualification and a Masters degree. But as the first year of her studies with Ulster University was drawing to a close, Millie received the devastating news that she had breast cancer.
The next seven months would become full of appointments and tests, before undergoing major surgery followed by a course of radiotherapy and hormone treatment.
