Cover of Tim McGraw’s Humble and Kind from the album Damn Country Music. I know the original is by Lori McKenna and I love her version. But I’ve used the chords for Tim’s track here. Wonderful song, either way!

I want 2020 to be all about music, so this was the perfect song to start the year. Recorded on New Year’s Day, it’s the closing track from Taylor Swift’s 2017 album ‘Reputation’.
As we draw to the end of the decade and the 2010s morph into the 2020s, I thought it would be nice to take a look back on the last ten years and pick out some highlights from my professional life. In this second of two blog posts, I’ve chosen a key event from each year of the second half of the decade, and one that has really shaped me. I started the decade aged 18 and on the cusp of leaving home to move to University. Ten years later I’m still in the same city, beautiful Lincoln, and have carved out a career in media and education. There is still a long way to go, but the journey has been fun – it’s good to take a moment to reflect sometimes.

In the next two blog posts, I’ve split the decade in half and chosen one key event from each year that has really shaped me.

About a year ago, in the summer of 2018, I was given the opportunity to become a mentor on the BA(Hons) Media Production degree in the Lincoln School of Film and Media, the same programme from which I graduated myself back in 2013. As a mentor, I had the opportunity to work with a 3rd year student as they moved through their final year of study and prepared to graduate.
I was delighted to be paired with Jake, an aspiring DJ and radio student, who had also spent time studying graphic design in the earlier years of the course. Jake was a confident, driven student who I was delighted to be paired with over the course of his final year. Hopefully, I was able to offer some good advice!
