Genevieve Baker is an alumni of BA (Hons) Live Events and Television (now BA (Hons) Television and Live Events Production) at London College of Communication. She has relocated to Australia and works as an Events Manager and Freelance Events Coordinator.
I studied BA (Hons) Live Events and Television and graduated in 2013.
England however I'm currently living in Australia.
I've always had a passion for events and being surrounded by something I enjoy was always my dream! The structure of the course at LCC appealed to me most, especially its lean towards practical units.
That in this industry you have to be very resilient. You will often have to throw together projects with no budget at the very last minute, and half of the time that’s why it's so rewarding.
The focus of the course is very practical which meant that I was already involved in the industry before I finished my studies, making the transition between the two incredibly easy.
I'm currently the Events Manager of a craft beer bar in Sydney, Australia.
Interesting projects I've worked on since graduating include:
Coffee, Glitter and Excel Spreadsheets.
I enjoyed wandering down Brick Lane but when I really needed to relax and let the creativity flow I would either pop into the Cat café or have a wonder around Stepney Farm. There's nothing more relaxing than cute animals!
I would like to create my own music and arts festival.
