      Fundraiser

      I worked from the DARE office calling University of Sheffield alumni part-time alongside my studies. The work was for the Alumni Fund, a charitable organisation set up in 2003. This was a paid role, and I spent time talking primarily to engineers. I really enjoyed the chance to find out even more about the diverse career paths Alumni take, particularly those who studied the same degree as me. The purpose of the role was to build relationships with Alumni and facilitate their charitable donations. Show less
