Meet our Linguist Jessica Class of 2015

First Class Master ofArts with Honours,ScandinavianStudies and Spanish

Where did you go after TGS?​

I studied Scandinavian Studies and Spanish at the University of Edinburgh, including asemester abroad in Bergen, Norway and another in Salamanca, Spain. ​

​What do you do now?​

I now live and work in Norway, where I use Norwegian every day at work and with myhusband’s family (we got married in Edinburgh just a couple of weeks ago actually!).​

Professionally, I’m a Customer Success Manager and have led an international CustomerSuccess team in the sports and ticketing industry, which involved travel across the UK,Ireland, and Scandinavia. I now work as a CSM in a healthcare tech company (essentiallywithin the IT/SaaS world) where are clients are the equivalent of the NHS in Norway. ​

​Why Spanish at TGS for students choosing now?​

I’ve always been interested in languages, but that interest was definitely nurtured at TGS. Istill remember loving Spanish from my very first class in Year 7. Studying languages atuniversity felt like a way to open more doors when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, andit truly has. My language skills have shaped my career path, enabled me to live abroad, andgiven me confidence in both international work and personal life.
