“One of the milestones I am most proud of is recently starting as a Junior Application Specialist at Spinnaker Software.
Having the opportunity to apply the theory I’ve learnt throughout my university career in a professional environment has been incredibly exciting and fulfilling.
SASLI has played an important role in helping me become more work-ready and confident. The annual EXTRA experience has always been a highlight for me, because it helped me develop skills that I now put into practice in the workplace.
This year’s XTRA Unplugged retreat was especially impactful. Taking part in the UN Simulation gave us, as Laureates, the opportunity to develop our diplomacy skills while working together to think through a better future.
I am currently balancing work and studies, and SASLI has helped me approach this with greater agility and focus. These are skills I continue to build through the programme, and now apply as I solve complex problems, manage responsibilities, and work towards making meaningful progress.”
