Tejni Shah
MSc in Coaching, 2015
Why did you choose to study at UEL?
I chose to study at UEL because of the range of courses available. I knew I would have the support I needed to succeed in my MSc in Coaching which made UEL the right choice for me.
What is your one special memory of your time at UEL?
One of my favourite memories was receiving seventy out of eighty on one of my exams. Nights at the Student Union were great fun, too!
What have you done since graduating from UEL?
After completing my master’s, I went on to work as a mentor for young adults with autism. My time at UEL unlocked my passion for working with young autistic people.
What is your current job role? And what does it involve?
I currently work in the field of philanthropy for an Autism charity. This involves speaking with prospective donors and foundations to generate income.
How did UEL help you get to where you are now?
I gained a great deal of experience through my course at UEL and would not be where I am today without my degree.
What advice would you give your younger self?
It will all work out in the end! Psychology is a great degree to study, and the university will be a wonderful experience.
What advice would you give to UEL current students preparing to graduate?
Just breathe! Life is what you make of it. If you are motivated and work hard, you will be fine
