Appt is an international digital agency specialising in bespoke app, web and software development and digital communications in the UK and China.

She also talks about some of the challenges for international students, including language barriers and knowing where to find opportunities.

She says that she found her dream job after her studies at the University of Sheffield. Hear this and much more in the 30 minute interview between Joy and Sarah Lister.
