This Student Can: Emma Rafter

My name is Emma, and I am a fellow graduate from the University of Huddersfield. During my time there I studied Psychology with Criminology and my Master’s degree in Investigative Psychology. Now I am about to start my new adventure in the job that I have wanted to be in for so long. This new career path also sees me putting my degrees to some use.

I am outgoing and I am very family and friends orientated. I like to spend time with the people that are important to me as well as doing things for myself such as drawing, taekwondo, reading and doing fun activities. I like to push myself past my comfort zone and experience what life has to offer.
