Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing)/Bachelor of Music (Performance).

Absolutely.

4. What’s the coolest thing about your job?

The level of responsibility you have.

5. What piece of advice would you give your student self?

You’re not going to nail everything the first time but keep trying, ask for help when you need it and don’t be too hard on yourself. You will get there.
