Amelia Santangeli is 23 years old. From a young age she been passionate about the horse racing industry. Most of her childhood was spent growing up in rural Cheshire riding event horses, and riding racehorses on the weekends. Horses have always been a massive part of her life, leaving home at 16 to go to Hartpury Equine College in Gloucester, where she then went on to go to study International Horse Racing Business. She is currently working at Overbury Stud doing the thoroughbred breeding season and loves working there. She is excited to start a new journey with the Racing Media Academy, especially her placement with Jockey Cam and seeing where this new journey takes her.
The Racing Media Academy was a turning point in my career. Learning from industry experts was inspiring—many still say hi when I see them on course! I made lifelong friends, gained confidence, and picked up valuable skills during my JockeyCam placement, where I still freelance.
Those skills helped me land a full-time role managing social media for Noel Fehily Racing and David Crosse Hospitality. Without the Racing Media Academy, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am very grateful for everyone that makes this amazing course possible .”
