ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï

How has your career developed since graduating from ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï, and what is your current job role?

I secured an operations management role with The Halo Trust who are a mine action NGO. I completed 5 months training in Cambodia and then posted to Laos as an Operations Officer, I will be managing teams clearing land of UXO, aircraft bombs and cluster munitions as part of my role. Laos is the most bombed country in history due to the USA’s attempts to disrupt the Ho Chi Minh trail during the Vietnam War, it means a lot to me to be able to help the Laos nationals make their country a safer place to live.

How has your degree and experiences at ÌìÌì³Ô¹ÏBusiness School influenced your career/life?

My MBA Environmental Management gave me leverage to obtain my current role with HALO and it also provided me with some new friends, including University staff who I will keep in touch with going forward. My online communication skills significantly improved due to the nature of the online course delivery and socialising.
