Could you be the next Old Edwardian working in this field to share your story?

A Levels: Maths, Further Maths, English and Spanish (plus AS Physics)

At KEHS: Approximately 2011-2021

Current role: Events Designer & Producer, Skylark

If someone had told Catherine while she was at KEHS what her career would look like today, she probably wouldn’t have believed them.Now working as an Events Designer and Producer, she creates conferences, retreats and gatherings that bring together people tackling some of the world’s most complex challenges. What she enjoys most is creating spaces where meaningful connections can happen.

“I also love working together as a big team to make something very concrete and tangible happen, and the magic of bringing humans together in person.”
 

Reflecting on her time at KEHS, Catherine values the opportunities she had to explore different interests and ways of thinking. Those experiences laid the foundations for a career shaped by curiosity, creativity and a willingness to embrace unexpected opportunities.

Her advice to current pupils?

“Keep being you, and keep making the choices that expand and deepen your views and experience of the world.”

"I love the variety of work in my current role: the methodical attention to detail needed for logistical planning; the creativity and social attunement needed to design and facilitate workshops or host events; the quick decision making and problem solving under pressure needed on the ground in the midst of a big conference."
