Living History: Caitlin Morris
My defining moment at Trinity
We had arrived in Cambridge from sunny South Africa in December 2018. On Christmas Eve our friends showed us around Cambridge.
We roamed the cobbles and alleys, ending up on Queen’s Road. It was then that I saw the most glorious sight: Trinity College. ‘I’ll work there one day,’ I told my husband.
I don’t know why I said that but in January the recruitment agency called: they had a temporary position at a Cambridge college. ‘You’ll never guess which college?’ I said to Michael.
After two interviews, which I have to admit I found gruelling – not helped by nerves – and then what seemed a long wait, I honestly could not believe that I had got the job!
My first workplace in Britain was going to be at one of the most prestigious colleges in the world.
