I initiated a week’s placement at Grey London through my mentoring scheme at News UK. My mentor was the Chief Creative Officer within News UK’s marketing department and worked on the organisation’s account with Grey. As such, I was able to spend a week working alongside the News UK team to gain exposure within a creative agency and to further my understanding of our brands. I also spent some time with the Lucozade team prior to their launch of the new ‘Find Your Flow’ campaign.

Creative Solutions Project Manager

I assisted in first and second year classes (pupils aged between 12-14 years old) throughout the school year. I also prepared and presented classes alone which allowed me to thrive in the classroom as well as giving me the confidence to speak comfortably in front of 25 pupils and on occasions, 60+ pupils.
