Kathryn Stewart from Bushmills is the worthy recipient of The Dairy Council for Northern Ireland '˜Sports Nutrition Award' which is given to the Ulster University student who receives the highest mark in their MSc in Sports and Exercise Nutrition.

Kathryn, who is a Registered Dietitian, commented: “I was delighted to find out I had won the award as I am from a dairy farm and this will most likely be the closest I get to following in my dad’s footsteps of becoming a dairy farmer!

“On a serious note, the Sport and Exercise Nutrition MSc has taught me valuable knowledge and skills in such an interesting area and I have recently started to put these into practice with a local sports team.”
