Who is Dan?
• I moved here from Nigeria, lowkey 2 years ago! (lol that's crazy) and 5 months into uni I got involved with the students union, several groups and a few sports clubs! I’m not picking faves but TKD has my heart hehehe….
• Nigerian Fanta is the best drink ever
• When I’m not ‘developing students’ you can always find me at the southsea waterfront or at the gym or at our students union or scooting away!! with my headphones on, blasting NOTHING!! (noise cancelling headphones)
