“Whatever your dream, it’s never too late to achieve it.

I graduated as an aerospace engineer and worked as a researcher in my twenties before realising my passion and vision had shifted.

The double Master’s degree in Professional Accounting and Business Law has allowed me to fast track my career change whilst working full time. It increased my career flexibility and lead to greater employment prospects.

I’ve taken up roles in governance, risk and compliance positions I’d never imagined working in, across the corporate, government and not-for-profit sectors.

Never tell yourself you’ve missed your chance.”
