Who am I?

About Katie

What was your experience of Further/Higher education like? 

I studied Japanese and Management at university in London, with a year abroad. It was an amazing experience, learning a different language and culture alongside developing practical skills in Business. At times, the workload could be quite intense and a little overwhelming, but it helped me learn how to prioritise and meet deadlines, which has been an invaluable skill throughout my career.  

What do you like most about your work as a Student Adviser?

The aspect I find most fulfilling is creating meaningful connections with students, getting to know them and helping them to make the most of their university experiences. Guiding students whilst they navigate university life and being able to support them to develop as individuals and overcome challenges is incredibly rewarding!

What's a surprising or interesting fact about yourself?

It might surprise you to know that I am also a salsa teacher!
