Hannah Williams (BSc 2014)<\/span>\u00a0studied Business Management at Cardiff University. Since then she’s secured a role with Sony and been crowned Miss Wales. Hannah took time out of her busy schedule to tell us about her time at University and experiences since graduating.<\/p>\n

Cardiff Business School<\/a> had a record of research excellence that I wanted to learn from. My brother is an alumnus so hearing about his experiences, and with the capital of Wales being somewhere I always wanted to study, I was sold!<\/p>\n

The BSc Business Management<\/a> offered a broad education across many business and management subjects. It also offered the opportunity to tailor my course to my interests so I had flexibility within my studies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I met so many diverse and inspiring characters at University, some of which I am still friendly with today. There were also some regular appearances at the students\u2019 union – Wednesdays were the highlight of the week.<\/p>\n

After graduating I applied for a job in medical manufacturing as a junior buyer. This gave me a practical platform into industry and helped me into my current role as assistant sourcing manager at the award-winning Sony UK technology Centre in South Wales. I help to support the production of thousands of HD broadcast and professional cameras for global distribution.<\/p>\n

Outside of work I have been crowned Miss Wales 2017<\/a>. One day I’m talking about technology and electronic components, the next I’m arranging charity events and talking beautiful dresses! I strive to share my experiences of the opportunities within manufacturing careers with younger generations.<\/p>\n

Studying at Cardiff University\u00a0has helped me stand out in industry and I’m proud to have been part of the University. Not only did I learn the basics of business and management but I’m also equipped with knowledge and experiences I will remember throughout my career.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If I could go back in time I\u2019d tell my younger self not to worry so much and to make the most of every opportunity to do something new; strive to be the best you can be and embrace student life as much as you can. And whilst you work hard, don’t forget to play hard too!<\/p>\n

My time at Cardiff University was fun, rewarding, diverse, innovative and challenging. Gaining life experiences and meeting new and diverse people has truly enriched my character.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hannah Williams (BSc 2014) studied Business Management at Cardiff University.
