(English BA, 2006)

On any given day, I might be traveling to Silicon Valley to interview a humanoid A.I. robot, typing furiously on my laptop, testing out the latest virtual reality headset, or taste testing a $900 bite of lab-grown meat. My work is a mixture of interviewing, researching, writing and rewriting, with product testing, world travel, and drones thrown in.

The powerful thing about mentorship is that you get an insight into another’s life experiences and thoughts, without having to be in the same shoes. It teaches you empathy, broadens your horizon and keeps you open-minded.

(Investment and Finance MSc, 2019)

What I like the most about my job is the fact that I must constantly keep abreast of the evolution of the market both locally and internationally and to analyse its impact on the performance of funds and securities. The market is now very dynamic especially with the massive use of technological tools and understanding how financial assets react to news is very interesting!

Being Queer, I get to contribute to the active shifting of perceptions toward the Queer community. I represent a community consisting of hundreds of millions of the most vibrant and eccentric people. We get to challenge the norm and define what is acceptable. We’re not only survivors but also thrivers.
