Tell us about your experience of studying abroad
In 2022, I completed a semester abroad at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, USA. Still to this day, it was the best 5 months of my life.
Whilst there, I met amazing people who will be friends for life, made memories that will last a lifetime and extended my knowledge about the events industry globally. My highlight of my study abroad experience would definitely have to be going on a cruise around the Bahamas during Thanksgiving break!
What do you want to do when you graduate?
After graduation, I am due to start a job at the Bank of England as an events organiser.
It has always been my goal to organise corporate events and having a degree in Event Management definitely helped me be successful in the interview and ultimately land the job.
