Victoria is a 21-year-old student from Essex. Her passion for media and content creation stems from her Instagram account where she shares her riding journey with her horse Clove. As a result, she has worked with various equestrian companies and thoroughly enjoyed creating content for them. Additionally, as an Equine Performance and Business Management student, it has tied her passion for horses and media together, leading her to discover the Racing Media Academy. Throughout the previous year, she has been a member of the Youth Collaboration Group with Careers in Racing in which she has written race previews and attended race days. She is excited to delve deeper into her career with the Racing Media Academy and looks forward to gaining knowledge and networking with like-minded people.
The Racing Media Academy has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The initial week in Newmarket not only provided invaluable industry knowledge and connections, but also fostered some incredible friendships. It was a week I wish I could relive, and I am immensely grateful to everyone involved.
As my three-month placement with ARC comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the summer I have had. Back in February, I received the dreaded call that I hadn’t been selected for an interview at the academy. It just goes to show how life works in unexpected ways, what is meant for you will happen. It is crazy how I went from no interview to a place on the academy!
My time at ARC has been full-on: thousands of miles travelled, countless reels posted, and a handful of interviews completed. This placement offered me the chance to work within a full marketing team, where we shared experiences, tips, and celebrated successes together. It was incredibly rewarding to contribute to the team and see the impact of our work first hand.
I will truly miss everyone I have worked with over the past year, they have helped shape my career in so many ways, but I am sure we will stay in touch.
