About

I’m Lily Walton, a Durham University third year undergraduate (Sport, Exercise and Physical Activity) predicted to achieve a First-Class Honours. I’m especially interested in social inequality, marginalisation, and the social dimensions of sport, and I enjoy turning qualitative research into clear, rigorous thematic insights.

Alongside my degree, I’ve gained research experience through qualitative analysis and data management, including transcribing and cleaning interview data and building structured datasets to support interpretation. I also bring a people-focused, fast-paced working style from customer-facing roles and volunteering, including supporting students through free tutoring and contributing to community wellness and welfare projects.
