Reflecting on her journey, Jamie said: “I’m grateful for the support and guidance I received at Cornwall College. They helped me build my confidence and discover my passion for photography.”
“Cornwall College has ignited my passion for photography and which allowed me to participate in the Global Travel and Tourism Partnership, where I am proud to say that I have won the UK segment. I aim to progress onto a Master’s Degree, ultimately, my goal is to start my own business specialising in special interest tourism agency with a focus on historical interests,” she continued.
