This paper uses narrative writing to track the journey of one student’s perceptions and understanding of academic integrity values through practice immersion and experiences and how that is carried into the workplace. Literature has posited that narratives offer increased comprehension, interest and engagement (Dahlstrom, 2014). The paper uses storytelling as a unique methodology to capture the student’s perceptions and emotions and provides a fascinating insight into the kind of experiences that shape students’ understanding of academic integrity values, thus posing as valuable contributions for academics and research globally.
