Gia Jutley
Aberdeen
Summary
A student at the University of Aberdeen studying Economics and Finance, with a strong interest in how people, places, and ideas come together to create great experiences. Over the past year, I have built hands-on experience running hospitality projects, from managing an Airbnb catering service to helping lead an eco-camp startup. These roles have taught me a lot about teamwork, creativity, and staying organized under pressure. I enjoy finding thoughtful ways to connect with people, whether through food, service, or social media storytelling, and I'm always excited to learn and take on new challenges.
