Thabeena Selvaraj

BA (Hons) Business and Human Resource Management


Whilst studying her degree, Thabeena Selvaraj completed a 'life-changing' placement with White Lodging in Austin. Her placement year gave her the chance to learn crucial knowledge and skills from the industry first-hand.

I was given a life-changing opportunity to do a placement year with White Lodging in Austin, Texas for a year. The internship gave me the chance to learn and grow within the industry I was keen on. The knowledge and skills I have gained from my placement have moulded me into a confident and better person which has helped me a lot during my final year.

I graduated with a First Class Honours degree, and there have been ups and downs throughout the journey but the people I have met have made my journey a smooth and memorable one.

My four years at the University of Sunderland have to be one of the best times of my life."
