Now, if I look here I see that you completed a BA in English?
Yes, that ' s right. After graduating from high school in New York I attended York University in the UK. My major was English, and my minor was business studies. I completed my BA in 2004.
Yes, I ' m pleased to see that you also got a distinction.
Yes that ' s right. I ' Ve always enjoyed studying. My friends say I ' m a bit of a bookworm, but my father always pushed us to succeed academically.
Well, it looks like his encouragement paid off Rebecca. So how about extracurricular activities at University?
Well I ' Ve always been keen on writing, so I became the editor for the University student magazine, which I really loved. Also I volunteered for a group called Shelter, to help the homeless in York.
What did that involve?
Providing warm meals and shelter, especially in the winter months. I found it really fulfilling to be part of that group.
I ' m sure. Okay, now let ' s move on to your work experience, shall we?
Yes, okay.
