Nutritionist at Slimming World
Alexandra spoke to students about a career in the Nutrition sector.
It's such a rewarding experience to know you’re helping students at a critical time in their lives. You also get to see what fellow alumni volunteers have gone on to do; it's interesting to hear how I could use my qualification in a different way.
Alumnus Graham Kill (Mining Engineering, 1987) is a Portfolio Director and Chair of various commerical boards and chose to mentor a current student.
"It doesn't matter where you are in life's journey, there's always something to learn from somebody else's experiences and perspectives and mentoring is a great way of doing this. I would also hope that other alumni gained a great deal as students at Nottingham, and would feel like giving something back".
