Aside from my studies, I've been involved with The Loft Sessions - a student-led social media brand and production company with a focus on all things music, culture and arts.
I began here as Social Media Manager. This role taught me the importance of things like SEO, analytics, and algorithms in running a brilliant social media account. I've become a lover of content creation for all media platforms. As SMM, I had the incredible pleasure of addending events such as 2000Tress, Heavy Music Awards, Download Festival, and the esteemed BRIT Awards.
After a year, I was promoted from Social Media Manager to Executive Producer, which meant I was overseeing all operations at the company. I became a people leader and manager, which was a position I thrived in. Under my leadership, we put on an exclusive TLS Live gig at The Hope & Ruin, marketed some of BIMM's events, and sent a small team to Victorious Festival.
