Hello there! I'm Iona, and I join my colleagues Bruce and Carol as the Student Development Coach for Management students.

Originally from Shetland, I moved to the 'mainland' to study International Business and French. After completing a graduate program in hotel management, I qualified as a Careers Adviser. Before joining this team, I spent eight years as a Career Development Consultant at Edinburgh Napier University's Business School.

I'm passionate about helping students boost their employability skills, whether that's through one-on-one coaching, group sessions, or other professional development activities. My aim is to make you feel more confident in planning your career and better equipped to compete for graduate opportunities. 

I can't wait to work with you, understand your individual needs, and help you navigate the often complex, yet exciting, world of career planning!
