I chose my course at Loughborough for two reasons: The University has an amazing work life balance which I really value and the lecturers care. They made it clear that they are there to help us and we can come to them with any of our thoughts and queries. They have lived up to that.

I decided that a placement was the correct option for me as I am not 100% set on my future. I have no idea what I wanted to do specifically once I graduate. I thought that the placement would provide a great opportunity to seek out what I would enjoy as a career.

I secured a placement with Johnson and Johnson as an EMEA Commercial eCommerce Trainee. This role entails supporting markets across Europe, the Middle East and Africa across all of their eCommerce needs, such as digital marketing content and retailer activations. I am also helping to upskill the business on eCommerce, which is growing in significance post-Covid due to an increase in online shopping.
