15/10/2017
Steve Rogers it the Director UX (User Experience) at Google, and also part of the Coventry University Alumni. His biggest piece of advice was that if you get the opportunity to be in the middle of a changing industry, take it! I believe this is exactly what the media industry is and is one of the reasons that I am excited to become a part of it.

Rachael was born in Uganda, her career began when she was a freelance journalist for a Ugandan newspaper and radio stations whilst a student at Makerere University. Since 2002 Rachael has been a part of the BBC World Service.
EMEA Global Business Marketing - Speaker Event
21/2/2017
I attended my first ‘Global Leadership Programme’ speaker event presented by Philippa Snare, an EMEA Global Business Marketing specialist, currently working with Facebook. I had been excited about this event for a while, as I am not only a user of Facebook but also because it is such a huge social media platform and therefore links nicely to my degree in media.
