Spotlight on... Mykal Riley

Mykal Riley - This week we meet Mykal Riley, Communications, Marketing and Events Manager at UCL Mechanical Engineering. Here, we hear about Mykal's work developing a Bloomsbury Theatre show, his favourite London haunts and the financial advice he'd give his younger self. What is your role and what does it involve?. I'm the Communications, Marketing and Events Manager at Mechanical Engineering and a UCL FAIR recruitment specialist. The day job is incredibly varied and includes our web presence, social media, making films or writing stories and conceiving and executing events. Alongside "selling us" I think an important part of my responsibility is trying to facilitate the building of community through our work, which is challenging in a sprawling city like London and an institution as complex as UCL. My rationale is that we need to make the student experience as amazing as it can be.
