HVA SIER TIDLIGERE STUDENTER OG HVA GJØR DE NÅ?
Kia Johanna Uuskartano
Bachelor og master i samfunnsøkonomi
Jeg jobber for tiden i Norges sjømatråd. Jeg startet i Norges sjømatråd høsten 2013 i en internship stilling, men jobber nå fast her som systemutvikler/analytiker. Jeg jobber hovedsakelig med markedsinformasjon og statistikk. Blant annet jobber jeg nå med et prosjekt der vi utvikler nye systemer for markedsinformasjon og statistikk ut mot sjømatnæringen.
Jeg kommer opprinnelig fra Finland, men flyttet til Norge i 2007. Etter å ha jobbet her i nord et år ville jeg gjerne studere, og da ble HHT et naturlig valg for meg. Jeg synes HHT har et bra utvalg av studieretninger innenfor økonomi.
Jeg trivdes veldig godt ved HHT. Jeg følte at kontakten mellom foreleserne og studentene var bra, og fikk god hjelp med både veiledning og spørsmål som dukket opp i løpet av studietiden. Jeg var også involvert i studentorganisasjoner i løpet av min tid ved HHT og opplevde at jeg fikk mye igjen for dette.
