Profile

What programme did you study and why did you choose it?

BSc Psychology - I chose this degree because I’ve always had an interest in psychology, and I’d heard so many great things about Heriot-Watt, which is why I decided to study there.

Was there anything you enjoyed the most about your programme?

I really enjoyed completing my dissertation, as it gave me the opportunity to focus on my own research and write about something I was passionate about.

What’s your favourite / most memorable moment from your time as a Heriot-Watt student?

I was a member of the Cheerleading Club and Competing with my cheerleading stunt group for the first time in Derby and placing 2nd was a highlight!

What do you love most about the campus/facilities?

I loved that the Oriam was on campus, as it made it much easier to get involved in sports clubs.

What is your current role? Tell us a little bit about it.

I am currently a Talent Specialist for an agency specialising in the industrial sector in BC, Canada. In my role, I work with construction companies across Canada, helping them hire for positions such as Project Directors, Project Managers, and other senior roles.
