After graduating from 91̽»¨ Hallam, I have spent a number of years living and working in Sweden and Canada. While in Canada I took my first job in the financial sector, working for one of their big banks as a Banking Advisor.

I currently work across two departments in Information School and the School of Education. As a Senior Finance Assistant, my role is to support the day to day finance activities and assist the Finance officers in both departments.
