Since completing my MSc degree at Exeter, I was Marketing, Communications and Events Coordinator with London Metropolitan University’s Students Union. I was working there from October 2023 – February 2024. At this role, I got the hands on experience in various aspects of marketing and events like social media marketing, print marketing, content creation, ppc, website management, partnerships, event organization and management, etc. In this role, I got to practice a lot of things I learnt during my course at Exeter. In February 2024, I switched to the role of a Faculty Marketing Coordinator role at University of Southampton. This role comprises of undertaking faculty marketing activities for Faculty of Arts and Humanities and Faculty of Environmental and Life Science. I have learnt a lot already and I am very grateful to be able to get these opportunities.
