2016 Su Yee Aung
(BSc International Hospitality Management)
Growing up in Myanmar in a Burmese family, I am the first in my family to attend an international university. During my time at Surrey, I started the Myanmar Society, the very first group for Myanmar people and was elected as President. In 2017, I joined The Strand Hotel & Cruise, operated by GCP Hospitality, as a reservation officer. I am constantly being given the opportunity to develop my skills as a hospitality graduate and as a future hospitality leader.
Tai Ibitoye (MSc Human Nutrition)
After graduating, I became a qualified nutritionist and used the skills and knowledge gained to help set up healthy eating and nutrition workshops within Hackney and Islington. I have also been invited to universities to raise awareness to students on the importance of eating well. I have featured in The Huffington Post UK talking about vitamin D (as inspired by my MSc project supervisor Professor Susan Lanham-New), explaining its role in health and why individuals should have adequate vitamin D levels. As well as this, I have featured on online platform LifeHack and in Thrive Magazine as a nutrition and health contributor talking about a range of topics, including foods to eat for better sleep, debunking nutrition myths and how to reduce the risk of cancer.
Lucia Knight (MSc Psychology (Conversion))
Since graduating, I have combined my research into the silent but growing trend of disappearing mature people from corporates with my 20-year corporate head-hunting career to create my new coaching business,

where I help people in their 40s and 50s to change their career before it changes them.
Jacklynn Stott (MBA)
I’ve just changed career paths from working as a project co-ordinator in a social housing charity in London, to becoming the executive associate to the CEO of Hyperoptic, a fibre internet service provider in West London. The MBA was one of the key qualifications that they looked at when deciding to bring me on board, and I know that, without it, I’d also struggle to have the confidence or even interest to enter this area; it’s been a great tool to have!
2017
Ecclesia (Eggy) Chang (BSc Media, Culture and Society)
Kin (Lennex) Nam Wong (MSc International Events Management)
After graduating, I kicked off my career at the Renaissance Hotel, Hong Kong, as an event assistant. It is terrific and amazing that I could develop my career in both hospitality and event industries. Apart from that, I have been in contact with all my friends and classmates in Hong Kong. The University granted me the opportunity to meet so many different people.
Minhao Wu (MSc Accounting and Finance)
I am working in China in my first job in a state-owned enterprise, which I treasure. I recently went to Shanghai to have a party with fellow Surrey graduates (pictured), talking about our lives since graduation. Our class is the most united and friendly and we have met many times since even though it is not always easy. I would like to express my gratitude to the University, to our tutors and my supervisor, and to all of my friends I met in England. I learned so much. Thank you so much for your education!
The University has left me with some of the best memories, life-long friendships and unforgettable experiences. Upon graduation, I moved back to Singapore and took a job at the Ministry of Defence as an assistant manager for public relations. I also found the love of my life, Gerald Huang. I still keep in touch on a daily basis with my best friends from Surrey and, in fact, they’re planning to come to Singapore this August. I can’t wait! Surrey has left me with a holistic student experience that I am forever grateful for and I can’t wait to visit the campus in the near future.
Joanna Miller (BSc Nursing Studies)
I am with the community nursing team in Chichester which is where I had my management placement so my transition from student to qualified nurse has been relatively seamless. I love what I’m doing and I’m so pleased that I chose community nursing.
