Teaching Fellow, University of ÐÓ°ÉappÏÂÔØ

I loved my course. The most enjoyable part was sharing practices with my peers and expanding my network. I now have great connections in different industries and some of my lecturers and tutors are nowmy colleagues.

Memories of ÐÓ°ÉappÏÂÔØ

This photo was taken when I was working at a ÐÓ°ÉappÏÂÔØ University open day. This represent happier times when we were able to be amongst students who are at the centre of everything we do. Looking out for their needs, making it easier for them to make the right choices in selecting a programme or a university. This is where I'm most happy at work; in front and amongst my students.

There are so many more memories to also choose from.

As a student I met so many friends and I’m lucky to now call them colleagues. The fondest of them all would be starting my first career job in the Business School Employability Office as the Mentoring and Erasmus Adviser. This allowed me to help so many students with their careers and this opened up opportunities for me to become an academic.

Life after ÐÓ°ÉappÏÂÔØ

My life after ÐÓ°ÉappÏÂÔØ is still ÐÓ°ÉappÏÂÔØ! Having worked at the BSEO I have now changed my path towards academia. I work as a teaching Fellow in Business Faculty HROB department teaching a wide range of subjects ranging from Accounting for MBAs to Strategic Management for finalists. My plans are to expand my career as an academic and a HE manager. For this I intend to do a PhD in the next 5 years and get back in to HE Management. Nothing makes me happier than helping and being amongst students, so I won't be changing that anytime soon.
