This is Beejal. She’s been working at The Royal Court Theatre as part of the Development Team. I’ve always had an interest in the arts. I love going to the theatre, I love every aspect of it, really. Once you join the arts, it’s not really something you look back on. You fit in so well with everyone you’re working with - you don’t really feel like you’re out of place. It’s a really nice environment.
