'During my six years at Royal Holloway, as an undergraduate and postgraduate student, I found that I gained in confidence through meeting new people and experiencing new situations. My love of Mathematics grew as I learnt a greater variety and depth of subject material. My time as a PhD student had both highs and lows but thankfully the former outweighed the latter, especially as I met my fiance. I am now training to become a Chartered Accountant at Deloitte, working in the Corporate Tax division. The challenging environment and the friendly people make me feel glad that Royal Holloway provided me with the grounding for a rewarding career ahead.'
