Career Podcast

What began as a personal initiative - Switched On, an independently produced podcast exploring professional journeys - evolved into a broader platform for access and enrichment. I conceived and developed the project from the ground up, hosting and editing over 30 long-form interviews with individuals across a range of industries.

This early work sharpened my understanding of how structured conversation can demystify opportunity and provide students with perspectives not easily found in the classroom.

Recognising its wider potential, I collaborated with my school to establish a formal podcasting programme and in-house studio. I now lead the research, speaker engagement, interview hosting, and production process for a series that supports Eton’s outreach and careers education. Episodes are shared internally and across EtonX, and are distributed to more than 950 state schools through the school’s national partnership network, reaching 50,000+ students.

In recognition of its educational impact, the project was archived in the Eton Archives under Sent Up For Good* - a distinction reserved for student work of enduring value. The experience continues to shape how I think about communication, equity, and the power of student-led initiatives to scale meaningfully.
