How did you hear about your role?

They saw the work I was doing on my public profile and reached out. I did a bit of freelance work and I’m still here now!

How did you get to where you are now?

With a lot of luck, though I think I’m good in some aspects! A large part of being where I am know is people having been willing to take a chance on me for one reason or another. The path isn’t very linear – particularly in the creative fields – so you have to put out the best work you can and hope for the best because nothing is certain.

Your favourite experience as part of your current role?

Travelling to different countries around Europe following football in some capacity.

The most challenging part of your graduate journey?

Moving to the most expensive city in the country on a graduate salary.

What's your #1 piece of advice for future grads?

If you think the purpose of university is solely to set you up for your future employment, you’re missing about on everything that uni is actually great for. You can’t control whether your degree will actually help you after you leave, so let it help you whilst you’re achieving it – mix with as many people as possible, appreciate the time you have, and don’t worry too much about what’s to come.

Graduate Outcomes Survey

The Graduate Outcomes survey exists to improve the experience of future students. All graduates are asked to share their perspectives 15 months after they finish their course, to build a national picture that UK universities and colleges use to innovate their services. League tables, Prospects and The Complete University Guide use our Graduate Outcomes data to help students make decisions about their future.
