Studying at Lincoln was the best decision I made. It set me up for my career working as an Assistant Director at The Royal Shakespeare Company, an Associate Director at National Theatre, and Director at Curve Theatre. Lincoln provided the skills, knowledge, and understanding of the Arts I needed to pursue my career as a Director.
