As part of my role, I organised and hosted events, along with the rest of student ambassadors, for the students living at the Unite properties. We had events such as walking tours, movie nights and barbeques. We were also required to represent Unite Students at external events. I throughly enjoyed this role and found that improved my teamwork and communication skills as I had to work so closely with the other ambassadors.

I carried out a project for Cairngorm Motorhomes, which involved carrying market research, along with the providing the company with recommendations about how they can differentiate from the competition, cumulating in a 15 minute presentation to senior members of staff in the company.
