Jessie Mackintosh

Studying at UHI Inverness has been life-changing for Jessie MacKintosh (45) from Carrbridge who started her new job immediately after she completed her BSc (Hons) Archaeology and Environmental Studies degree.

Jessie said: “I undertook a placement at a local peatland restoration company, ADL Nature, and enjoyed it immensely. When they advertised for a graduate position I applied and got the job! I handed in my dissertation on a Friday and my contract started the following Monday. I love my job and it is absolutely perfect for me.”

Jessie brought up her family and worked part-time as a pupil support assistant in the local primary school before joining UHI Inverness.

“I enjoyed learning so many things. The teaching was so interesting and effective, and I always felt supported and encouraged by my lecturers,” she said.
