Alumni Spotlight: Ellie reflects on her career pathway with advice to enjoy the present
A levels: English Literature, Politics, Spanish, History (AS).
Degree: I studied International Relations at Durham University as my undergraduate degree and then completed a Masters in Real Estate at the University of Reading.
Job: Assistant Fund Manager, Tritax Group.
Pathway: In my GHS leavers yearbook we all wrote a section on what we were going to be when we left school. I did not know what to put down at the time and opted for a safe bet… lawyer. It wasn’t until my second year of university, when I did a summer internship at a real estate company, that I realised that this was the industry I wanted to go into – I haven’t looked back since!
Word from the wise: focus on enjoying the present; life is long and you will have many opportunities to succeed along the way.
