Rebecca Wood
Profile
I completed my undergraduate degree in Events Management at Queen Margaret University.
After taking part in QMU’s student exchange programme to Melbourne, I founded the
exchange society. Diligence allowed me to move straight into the MSc International
Management & Leadership after my 3rd undergraduate year. Throughout my MSc I explored
best practice management & leadership in depth, while focusing on cross-cultural competence.
I concluded my MSc with a social media campaign for a start-up business. Currently I am
teaching English and working remotely for a language exchange platform as the marketing
lead.
