This month we hear from our Events Manager, Rebekah Clarke...
What has been your favourite MKF opportunity?
My favourite schools opportunity has been the Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Insight Days, where I was able to go along to most of the sessions and see the great work that J&J volunteers do. My favourite part was watching the students present back on their healthcare challenge ideas!

What advice would you give to students about their future careers?
My advice for students is to take every opportunity, you never know where it will lead you. Say yes to the project or task which you’re not quite sure you can do, or you might feel under prepared for – often you will surprise yourself and you’ll be very grateful for all the doors it opens for you in the future!
