Career paths
“Shortly after graduating, I started an internship at CNN and eventually led to spending five years at the company both in London and Hong Kong. Critical thinking, project management and precise contextualisation were all skills developed during my Master’s and are used almost daily in the roles I’ve held since at Twitter and CNN.”
“Since graduating, I have worked in marketing and communications within the technology transfer industry, and private investment and wealth management services.”
“Studying at King's not only helped me develop skills in discussing history in an enjoyable and accessible way, but also gave me the skillset to confront the more difficult sides of history, especially in modules such as Public History. ”
