I can’t pick just one, but the top few moments of my degree would be achieving The Best Female Student Award in my first year and taking part in Tech Allies Network’s 2019 Summer Institute, visiting various companies, and learning new skills. I found this opportunity through TechSkills, which accredits degrees as Tech Industry Gold. Last but not the least, making ever-lasting relationships with peers and mentors.

I didn’t find any aspect of my degree to be challenging as my university delivered the content really well.
