Meet our Linguist Amy Class of 2015

University ofNottingham, BAEnglish and Spanish

Why Languages at university?​

I chose languages because I wanted to do a year abroad. Getting to live in anothercountry for a year fully funded by the uni and built into the course rather than anadd-on, felt like an obvious choice.​

What do you do now?​

I am Senior Strategist at The Mix Global, a global marketing research agency,working with clients such as New Balance, LEGO, Unilever, Just Eat, and Diageo. Ialso moved to our New York office last year to help set it up.​

What did your TGS education give you? ​

TGS made me curious about everything. It taught me to question and explore andto feel confident getting involved in anything that sparked my interest.​

Because it lets you engage deeply with other cultures, challenge your worldview,and build confidence and independence. It opens up a life far bigger than the oneyou can imagine at 16.
