Connor is a 21 year-old Business graduate from the University of Portsmouth, where he achieved a First Class with Honours. During his time at University he developed a strong interest in marketing, media and sport, combining his studies with practical experience and personal projects.
He’s been involved in sport both competitively and socially from a young age. During university he competed in various BUCS leagues, representing Portsmouth at different levels in multiple sports.
Through his placement with Arena Racing Company as part of the Academy, Connor is excited to get stuck into the world of racing, gain experience, create content, and develop different media and marketing skills that will support his future career.
The Racing Media Academy was a unique and memorable experience. The week at the British Racing School gave me the opportunity to learn from some of the best names in racing media, develop new skills and gain an insight into areas of the industry I’d never experienced before.
It also gave me a platform to put those skills into practice during my eight-week placement with Arena Racing Company, where I worked across marketing, media and content creation.
I’ve come away with confidence, real-world experience, connections and a desire to build a career within media. I’m thankful to everyone at the RMA and ARC who made the initial course and the placement possible.
