Katelyn

University of Aberdeen

Law with English Law LLB

My future career plans are to become a Barrister (if I move back to England) or an Advocate (if I remain in Scotland) once I've completed my Law degree. I didn't know anyone else coming to Scotland for university, but having previously done cheerleading, I decided to join the cheerleading society, and have met most of my university friends through there! Finding the motivation can sometimes be hard, but I enjoy rewarding my long hours in the library with a break at a local coffee shop.

Hello there,
I am currently studying Information Technology with the goal of building a career in information systems protection. 
Before I enrolled into the MSc IT at UoA, I worked as a freelance photographer, while running a photo printing and framing business. And before that, I co-founded a company that sought to connect customers to their favourite brands by helping them discover deals/discounts from these brands. 
In between then and now, I have worked as an events management executive, and as a trainers' trainer.
