Hlín Rafnsdóttir

I provide general academic and career guidance, which involves helping people to identify their interests and strengths alongside personal counselling. I also offer assistance with CV and cover letter writing, along with guidance on good study practices and organisation. The most enjoyable part of my job is mapping out the next steps for people of all ages in their studies and/or careers, empowerment, and interest assessments.
