Personal statement

Charlotte is the Emerge Creative Graduate Studio Manager. As part of the Careers and Employability Team, Charlotte runs our external studio residency programme, alongside our own Bath Spa University Emerge Graduate Residency programme, which is currently based at our Sion Hill Campus. These activities support our most creative graduates to thrive. 

Charlotte is an advocate for emerging talent, accessibility and gender inclusion, specialising on the delivery of high-quality careers support through a human centred approach, enabling social mobility, utilising the power of placemaking and the power of developing equitable communities.

Our Emerge studio works in partnership with many of our University Cultural Partners and is part of the Culture West, West of England Combined Authority, Arts Council England, Place Partnerships initiative. This has enabled us to open our residency programme up to allow artists from the community to work alongside our graduate residents, learning and supporting each other. 

Her approach to inclusive support with social purpose focuses on improving graduate outcomes and wellbeing in the longer term, gives professional agency and improves professional sustainability for all our residents. This unique approach aims to provide positive social impact, to the benefit of the wider community and economy in which we all work and live, which in turn positively impacts graduate retention within the region. 

Charlotte has worked within the creative sector for over 20 years, working across radio, TV, digital content production and now within the arts and higher education sectors.
