Meet our Careers Coaches

Annie

BA (Hons) Modern and International History
MA International Security

I am a 5^th year student at Staffordshire University, currently doing a PGCE  to become a History A Level teacher.  I have been part of the cheerleading society Staffordshire Scarlettes for 4 years as a competitive athlete, and I am also the Head Coach of the team.

Having accessed an abundance of services within the university it enable me to continue with my personal and professional commitment to my course and studies.  I wanted to be able to assist students by using the knowledge and research skills I gained to offer my fellow peers a better platform to start their career and enhance their work experience.

Amber

BSc (Hons) Psychology (with a placement year)
MSc Applied Research

I wanted to be a Career Coach to gain more experience in this area and help people feel more confident and believe in their abilities more when applying for jobs or other opportunities. The Career Coach team are all students, so they understand the challenges of balancing work and study and as a team they have already helped me develop my own LinkedIn account and improved the way I approach applying for jobs.

Fun fact: I have an identical twin sister.

Becky

I became a coach because I love to help and encourage people. I have changed my degree and had different jobs during my time at university so understand how it feels to not know what you want to do and can pass my experiences on to other students.   

Student should come down to the studio because we have an excellent group of staff here who are all so friendly and helpful! It is such a beneficial experience to come and do some interview preparation or guidance writing applications. Even I learned so much during my staff training!

My fun fact is that I visited a safari in Kenya on my 21st birthday and was urinated on by a lion!!

Megan

Level 4 Forensic Investigation Student

I became a Career Coach because I love helping people find the path they want to be on and helping them achieve their goals.

I changed my mind about what I wanted to do with my future and therefore, changed the course I wished to be on. This means that I can share this knowledge and experience with other students who may be in a similar situation.

Students should come in to the studio as all of us who work here are students too, we understand the stresses and difficulties of student life. Our main aim is to empower students at Staffordshire University and help them to realise their full potential.

Fun fact is that I have dual British and Spanish nationality, and I’m also bilingual in both languages.
