A Great Start to a New Year
|
January 2019 Edition
|
As January draws to a close, and Christmas already seems a long time ago, the professional lives of our alumni seem to have hardly taken a Festive Break. An entrepreneur describes in detail what is involved in setting up a skincare and sun protection company in Australia; our Day in Life article features an alum who is a senior project manager for Department of Health and Human Services in North Carolina; whilst our Alum of the Month works from home from her base in Portland, OR.
Elsewhere at Mountbatten, at the beginning of January, Dr Paul Beresford-Hill invited Bangkok based alumni to a Mountbatten brunch in the city, providing a fun social/networking opportunity.
On a social note, a London based alumna is doing a shout out for other women who might be interested in joining her American football womens' team. All the details are below.
Calling all Wannabe London Womens American Footballers
"The London Warriors American Football Programme has a women's team and we want you to get involved! 2014 was the start of the Women's flag team and in 2015 the second year of existence they won the National Flag Championship. 2015 also was the start of the Women's kitted team, the first year they played in the 5 v 5 league and they were conference champions! They have since moved up to the National Division to play 7 v 7 so they can compete for the National Championship.
We are currently in the middle of our kitted team's season and looking to see if you would be interested in joining us next season as we aim to be the pioneers to build the sport in the UK for women.
My personal experience - I have been playing for two years with the programme and started off without a clue! This is even after my year spent in NYC. Since playing I have made lifelong friends, developed my skills and even played on a national level. It's a really exciting sport to be a part of and a real challenge outside of day to day work."

of the Month
Leah Arnold

I transitioned into a sales position and have been successful throughout my career here. I live in Portland OR, can work from home, and just won a trip to Hawaii for last year's performance. The internship was well worth it!"
