What is your strongest memory of your time at Surrey - what do you picture first when you think of being here?
The staff in the Politics Department and the amazing friendships I formed here.
What were the best things about your course?
The course was broad and there were a lot of different modules to choose from, allowing us to specialise in a specific area of politics. The assessments and seminars helped me develop my ability to form well-founded arguments and the ability to question and evaluate accepted knowledge.
What do you do now and what do you find most enjoyable about your line of work?
I work in reputation research, where I help clients measure their corporate reputations by developing and delivering comprehensive stakeholder opinion research. What I find most enjoyable is the methodical nature developing research programmes, whose results are then used to make a real difference to a company's business strategy.
