My year long stint with Newcastle University was phenomenal, studying and working with a multicultural and multi-disciplinary student group, professors who encouraged me to expand, challenge and adjust my worldview.
My engagement in Newcastle University’s Student Union, wherein I contested for student elections for the position of International Student Representative and ran my own publicity campaign and my participation in its societies and activities, exercised my creativity and sparked my love for marketing.
My active participation in University’s mountaineering club led to me writing articles for their magazine & volunteering at several occasions at University events. The work experience placement scheme gave me an opportunity to work as a marketing co-coordinator for an internationally recognized product designer in Gateshead, UK which gave me hands-on experience of marketing internationally.
I wrote my dissertation thesis on effective use of Social Media called
“Identifying key strategies for FMCG brands to influence consumers on Social Media”
“Newcastle University showed me what I love to do, gifted me with ample opportunities to learn and surrounded me with a wealth of inspiring and encouraging people.”
Now, as an alumni of Newcastle University Business School, UK, I volunteer to mentor students during their business challenges and also chair the Mumbai Alumni Branch of the University.
So if you are an alumni too, do reach out to me.
