Kate, 27 - Development Surveyor
I masterplan and manage the regeneration of cities. I work with communities to create a vision for a neglected part of a city, and then help bring that vision to life - this means working with a whole bunch of different people, ranging from architects, to engineers, to landscapers, to graphic designers and branders.
A-levels
Geography, Economics and History
Degree
I started off studying Law at Bristol and then decided it wasn't for me.
I went on to study Real Estate at the Royal Agricultural University
How I got to where I am now
Work experience was essential for me to get my first job. I called 30 different companies and eventually persuaded a specialist property developer in the 2nd year of uni to let me work for them over the summer.
I then worked at JLL on the graduate scheme completing rotations in different teams, and then moved to my current job at Igloo.
