    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I attended the Celebrating Women at EY Event and really enjoyed it. It was a well organized event where we were got the opportunity to listen to Lisa Cameron talking about her journey to become a partner and other female associates talking about their working experience at EY. We also attended some workshop relating to different personalites in team working environments which was really interesting as I learned what kind of personality I would bring into a team setting. In addition, it was a good event to also network with other female students at universities in the UK. Overall, I though the event was very useful and a great experience.
