Alumni Showcase SUMMER TERM 2021
Would you like to know what happens to Green School Sixth Formers when they leave us and venture out into the big wide world? Over the next few weeks we have decided to showcase some of our wonderful alumni and allow you an insight into their careers and the routes they have taken. These videos were originally used as part of the Year 9 Virtual Careers Fair, however we are so proud of our former students and what they have achieved we decided we wanted to share them with a wider audience, so enjoy!
| Here is our Week five Alumni: This week's Alumni, Ally Tyger, works for a company called Elmwood Design Agency. Her degree is in graphic design. Alongside her commitments at Elmwood, Ally is a diversity and inclusion advocate in her local community and within the design industry. She is also a member and mentor at Bloom UK, seeking to empower women and confront barriers women face within the creative and communications industries. Listen to her story: https://youtu.be/tIDxUM9_ybc |
| For the fourth week of our alumni showcase we present Hannah Lim, a young, very accomplished artist, with a highly individual style which she claims links back to her culture and origins. Hannah’s art teachers were always impressed by her artistic flair. Her Foundation Art Diploma was taken at Central St. Martins. She then transferred to the University of Edinburgh where she gained a BA Honours in Sculpture. Now less than a year out of university Hannah’s creations are so impressive she has already been working with professionals and exhibiting her work. In this 10 minute talk Hannah will talk about her journey so far and also present a few of her beautiful designs. https://youtu.be/9MFAcIIV43A |

This Summer Showcase video features Charlotte Ashton, whose A-Levels included English Literature. Her love of words led Charlotte to study English Language and Linguistics at university and to begin her career working for an International Finance Magazine and then the Financial Times. She now works as an Agency Sales Manager for the huge retail giant, Amazon. This seems a far stretch from studying A-level English Literature at The Green School and just proves how transferable our skills are and where A-Level English can take you! Find out what Charlotte does now in this seven minute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?
