Music has always been central to Kate’s life, and most of the jobs she has done have had the arts woven through them. Her first role during and after college was with a Jazz Festival, where she looked after everything from admin to press and marketing.
Since then, Kate has worked as a Marketing Officer in London for a major charity and at a Theatre and Arts complex in Surrey, and in corporate PA roles where event management was a big part of her day. She also spent many years as Strings Administrator at RCS, often stepping up as a coordinator to help bring projects together.
Kate has picked up a mix of qualifications along the way — an HND in Communication Studies, an Advanced Diploma in Arts Management, and a NEBOSH certificate in Health and Safety — but she likes to remind people that not every career path is straightforward or planned.
Here at Fair Access, Kate loves organising the events you come to, whether that’s an Open Day or a weekly workshop, and making sure you feel welcome. Outside of work, you’ll usually find her at a gig, in a dance fit class, or outdoors as much as possible.
