Meet Our 2025 Valedictorians
Shayne Lopez
BSc (Hons) in Adult Nursing
“After beginning my nursing career in 2013, I decided to take on the challenge of pursuing a nursing degree, and I can confidently say it has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Over the past three years, my nursing knowledge has deepened significantly, and my confidence in practicing as a Registered General Nurse has grown immensely. I now feel fully competent and prepared to deliver the highest standard of nursing care. Being able to study in my hometown at the University of Gibraltar has been an added blessing. Having the support of family and friends, along with familiar and dedicated lecturers, has made this journey so much smoother and more enjoyable.”
Abigail Aguilera
MSc in Contemporary Healthcare
“I decided to pursue the MSc in Contemporary Healthcare at the University of Gibraltar to seek a deeper understanding of how we can modernise healthcare and build systems that better support both patients and staff. What I did not anticipate was how much this course would broaden my perspective. It encouraged me to think more critically and step into situations I once would have avoided. Through that process, I have gained confidence and a clearer sense of how meaningful improvement actually translates into practice. None of this would have been possible without the guidance of my tutors, the collaboration of my classmates and the support of my family and colleagues. Together, they helped turn a desire for understanding into genuine personal and professional growth”.
Kelly-Anne Bacarese
MA in Leadership and Management
“After working as a clinical pharmacist for over 10 years, I decided to advance my professional qualifications by undertaking a Master’s in Leadership & Management. This programme has provided me with invaluable insights into strategic thinking and people management, while the University’s flexible approach made it possible to balance my studies alongside work and family life. Completing this Masters has been both a challenge and a rewarding journey, and I am excited to see what the future holds as I continue to grow professionally.”
Lukas Kloucek
Master of Business Administration (Gaming)
“Studying for the MBA has been a pivotal step in my professional development. The programme helped sharpen my thinking around analytics, strategy and responsible business practices. I found that the insights and perspectives it offered added real value to my skill set. It also broadened my understanding of key business disciplines that support effective decision-making in a modern gaming organisation. I gained valuable business and technical knowledge from the guest lecturers, whose real-world experience and impressive track records brought the subject matter to life. Having lived in Gibraltar for over a decade, completing my MBA at the University of Gibraltar feels like putting a stamp on calling this place home. And honestly, is there any other university with a view quite like this one?”
Anna Figueras
Postgraduate Certificate in Education
“This graduation ceremony concludes a transformative year. After earning a first-class degree in Biomedical Science from the University of Bath, I was eager to channel my passion for science into teaching. Undoubtably, the PGCE at the University of Gibraltar has equipped me with the theoretical foundation, confidence, and practical skills to thrive as an educator. The lecturers and school-based mentors provided unwavering support, allowing me to grow, flourish, and invoke the same in my students. My early secondary school placements were critical, providing hands-on experience from the onset. Ultimately, my PGCE journey has prepared me exceptionally well for the exciting opportunities ahead at Prior Park where I will utilise all I have learnt during this year. I aspire to kindle curiosity and spark fascination with science in young minds as they explore, question, and discover the world.”
Kathryn Cheeswright
Master of Education
“I feel incredibly fortunate to have had access to such high-quality educational opportunities within my own community. The Masters in Education has been truly transformational. I gained far more than the intellectual stimulation I had hoped for; it challenged me to deepen my reflective practice, supported me in refining my professional identity, enriched my perspectives after more than a decade in the classroom, and opened new avenues of interest. Ultimately, this programme has reinforced my conviction in the power of education to inspire and transform. As I graduate, I look forward to paying this learning forward in my work as a secondary school teacher and contributing to the future shaping of Gibraltar’s education system.”
Emma Ocaña
MSc in Environmental Science and Climate Change
“When I joined the MSc in Environmental Science and Climate Change, I came with a background in zoology and very little certainty about my future. Over the year, I not only gained a deeper understanding of the environment and climate systems, but also discovered clarity about the path I want to take in my career. The course challenged me, inspired me, and pushed me beyond what I thought possible – through lectures, fieldwork, and moments of quiet reflection. Along the way, I met a cohort of people who were not just brilliant and driven, but also generous, supportive, and kind; through long days, late nights, and shared experiences, they became more than colleagues – they became family. This MSc taught me that learning is not only about knowledge, but about connection, perspective, and the courage to follow the path that feels right. It has left me equipped, inspired, and grateful for both the lessons and the friendships that will last a lifetime.”
Ann Driskill
MSc in Marine Science and Climate Change
“The small, close-knit structure of the program allows students to work directly with leading experts to build essential research and practical skills. Gibraltar’s unique and dynamic marine environment brings those lessons to life through unparalleled opportunities for immersive, hands-on learning. Studying at the University of Gibraltar not only gave me a strong foundation for my future career, but also the chance to form lifelong friendships along the way.”
