 "I put to use things I learned at Goldsmiths on a daily basis."

Main details

Year graduated 2015
Occupation MA Arts Administration and Cultural Policy. Marketing, Development and Programme Assistant, KentPresents, Connecticut USA
Country United States

Goldsmiths provided me not only with the content and faculty guidance I needed to better my understanding of the field, but set it all in a dynamic atmosphere for learning it. London itself is a phenomenal cultural resource and the ability to share with my peers from all over the world about cultural administration, proved to be invaluable. I definitely broadened my horizons and opened my mind to what was possible in the field while studying with Goldsmiths.

Since graduating in 2015 I took a job at KentPresents, a non-profit ideas festival raising money for local communities in Connecticut, USA. I provide marketing, development and programming assistance to a small team to help actualize the yearly festival. I put to use things I learned at Goldsmiths on a daily basis. And its worth mentioning that Goldsmiths was a key talking point in my hiring interview!
