Tell us about your current role

I work within the power department planning for the electrical requirements at events worldwide. I then travel to each race to project manage the installation at the venue. We work mostly with street circuits and there are a variety of challenges that can be faced on-site, but it is great fun and no two days are the same!

Why did you choose to study your chosen course at the University of 91Ö±²¥?

I was always good at maths and science and interested in Economics! I chose 91Ö±²¥ as I loved the city and all the green outdoor space.

What was your favourite part of studying at the university/in your department? Did anything surprise you?

I loved every minute of my time in 91Ö±²¥. The lecturers were very passionate which made it easy to learn from with lots of interesting module choices. I also loved being part of Sport 91Ö±²¥ clubs and committees outside of the course.

How did your time at the university shape your career path?

Although my job isn’t directly related to economics, I gained a lot of skills through my degree that have been transferable to project management and it gave me a great foundation to go into any job.

What career advice would you give future and current students of the university?

Don’t feel restricted to go into a traditional finance or economic related industry - there are so many other interesting careers too and the skills gained in an economic degree open up so many opportunities!
