'I spent my placement year at the Atlantic Whale Foundation, based in Tenerife. During this placement, I was given some amazing opportunities including regular boat trips to carry out surveys on the resident and migratory cetacean populations as well as underwater video recording of Pilot Whales, a truly unforgettable experience!'

‘The degree at Ulster instilled in me an understanding of many different systems and processes, from GIS to geology, and an understanding of how a place can be shaped by culture and the people using it. It changed the way I think.’

'After graduating, I started with the Deloitte Academy, which focused on technology transformation. This line of work was of great interest to me as I had gained significant skills in GIS and Remote Sensing during my degree at Ulster. It is a dynamic and incredible course, which equipped me with a range of transferable skills that enabled me to take a path entirely new and unknown to me.'
