Holly's Story | University of Surrey

Holly Boothroyd moved 5,000 miles away from home to study a undergraduate degree in Computing and Information Technology at the University of Surrey, and she hasn’t looked back since.

After impressing her employer during her Professional Training placement year, Holly was offered her dream job working for Microsoft as a Software Engineer.

Holly hopes that other young women will look at her journey and realise that they too can have a fulfilling and successful career in the industry.

Discover how she grew from a little girl playing video games with her Dad, to the successful woman working in tech that she is today and how Surrey helped make it possible.
