“I enjoyed so much about Greenwich, including the beautiful campus, my placement year and my lecturers’ enthusiasm for the modules they taught and the passion they shared for creating our success.”

Memories of Greenwich 

My fondest memories of Greenwich would be working in the University’s Business School both during my placement year in the Events Team and part-time in the Employability Office.

Whilst in the Events Team, I partnered with a Greenwich alumni from Northern Trust, to host a Women in Finance seminar for students. One of my favourite moments was listening to each of the inspiring women at what was a memorable panel discussion. Looking back, I truly believe that I was lucky to have so many networking opportunities at Greenwich and that’s one thing I miss especially having graduated against the backdrop of a global pandemic.

I wouldn’t have had these opportunities without using the University’s Employability and Careers Service. They provided me with work experience, mentoring and a wealth of information, so make sure you use them too while you have the chance!

Life after Greenwich 

I chose this photo because it is a picture of me celebrating closing a chapter in my life. I am now a young professional working in the Ed-Tech sector, and I was recently able to attend my in-person graduation ceremony a year later. Even after university, I am still on a mission to find myself and aspire to become a new self-confident woman in the workplace.

I work on the Education Partnerships Team at Handshake – the leading, fastest-growing early-career network and recruitment platform for students in the UK and US. Handshake’s mission is to democratise opportunity and make it easy for any student to build a great career, no matter where they go to university or who they know.

I’m really excited for the future and by the opportunities I have ahead of me at the company. I’d like to use my expertise in the Ed-Tech sector to impact the lives of students across the UK. I’m also hoping to take on more responsibilities in the next few years and lead on further projects.
