I really enjoy my program and love coming to work every day as my job varies every single day.
I believe the structure of my program is great and I always understand what i need to do to achieve my goals
I receive a lot of support from my employer, If i need help from subject matter experts my team can always direct me to the right person to assist me.
The tutors at Sheffield Hallam always make sure that students are satisficed with the content by asking for regular feedback. They also respond promptly to emails when help is required
At the moment subjects I am studying don't entirely correlate with my job role however the research and report writing elements have helped me become better at performing these tasks at work.
I am apart of the Women's Empowerment Network, put in place to promote gender equality and give females a voice
