Career paths

I completed a number of internships during my degree but one in particular was a highlight. I did a placement at Centre for Amplified Intelligence, a local market research consultancy and technology company. A year earlier, I had seen the founder and CEO, Dr Karen Nelson-Field, present in a marketing communications lecture. When I reached out to ask about the possibility of a placement, Karen was more than willing to have me on board. I was offered a casual paid position and now I have been a full-time employee at the company for almost one year (long before I officially finished my degree). Internships and work-integrated learning have been a huge part of my professional development during university.
