Hello, I’m Izzy and this year I have the dubious honour of being the Club Captain. I have to make sure the Club is running properly and has everything it needs. This means a lot of time talking to the Union and trying to decide which shiny things to buy with the Club money! You can ask me anything about the Club generally and I should know what’s happening or be able to direct you to whoever does.

My home club was in Bristol where I fenced foil for several years before coming to Leeds. I now also fence at an epee club near Bristol in the holidays and am gradually learning to take it seriously as a second weapon. At first it was just for the team, then for competitions and now I’m finally doing some training! 

My degree is International History and Politics which doesn’t take up much time, though apparently requires extensive reading. As this is my third year I plan to spend much of it working and having early nights… It is however far more likely I will spend it going out and procrastinating in new and exciting ways!

I can be contacted on facebook or by e-mail hy07imcp at leeds dot ac dot uk and I will be happy to answer any queries.
