MEET JACQUELINE PERFORMING ARTS GRADUATE & CREATIVE ENTREPRENEUR
Flexibility is key
Jacqueline knew taking on a Master’s degree would be a big commitment. She needed to find a university that could help her achieve her goals, but also understand that she would still be working full-time.
When Jacqueline discovered our MA Theatre Directing course, she was attracted by the design of the programme and the flexibility offered to postgraduate students. The University of East London became her space to explore new approaches and experiment with new ideas.
A platform for her peers
After discovering her peers didn’t know how to turn their passion into a paycheque, Jacqueline started the Creative Platform Academy, which she set up whilst she was still a student.
Now the platform helps creatives approach their career as entrepreneurs and transform their visions into a reality.
Building a community
Jacqueline is now the vice chair of our Alumni Advisory Board. Launched in 2018, the board aims to strengthen the sense of community among our alumni. She's helping remind graduates of the various networks available and ways to give back to current students.
