Marking the day of my graduation as Georgia receives EU candidacy status!
Completing my Master's at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in Media and Communications: Data and Society has been both nurturing and strengthening, making me ready and well equipped for what is to come.
It was a priviledge to be afforded and encouraged, thanks to Chevening Awards to make time to work on myself, read, write, think, expand horizons along with most intelligent and diverse professors, peers, authors. But more importantly, to learn how to work independently, commit to my own research, be the toughest jugde of my work and build couage to own my voice.
Writing my dissertation on the most personally pressing issue of an individual's social and political agency in the context of an increasingly digitized realm of communications, I feel fulfilled and accomplished. It is an honour to have been marked with a distinction by my academic guide, the leading figure in the field of media studies, Professor Nick Couldry, whose work-ethic has been inspirational. But most importantly, I am greateful for his insistance on pushing me beyond my limits, being demanding and encouraging me to develop my work from the broadest perspective. It is rare in this world to be encouraged to define yourself and thinking beyond where you're from and I have been lucky.
And beyond the personal and intellectual, I couldn't have imagined how pertinent my knowledge and new skills would be to the field of public relations, increasingly transformed by the technological innovation and implementation of new data analytics tools to gain insigths and develop strategy. Developing my career in PR, I'm thrilled to learn from practice, and with caution and patiance, see the other side of the coin.
Welcome! We look forward to working with you!
