Amber Page

Social Media Manager

After graduating from Durham University in 2019, Amber Page worked as a Customer Service Administrator for a year, before moving to London to pursue her dream of working in media. 

“I wanted to get involved with STEAM:ED Collective because I have always sensed a harsh cultural divide between STEM and arts disciplines, and recognise how this can be limiting and stifle progress. I agree wholeheartedly with the ethos of STEAM:ED, that communication and engagement is key. I am really excited by this opportunity to be part of a positive change.”

Amber’s interests include historical fashion, true crime and pop music; she was president of the Durham University Taylor Swift Society and wrote an essay on the reception of Britney Spears for the literary magazine Pop! Goes my Heart. She is currently studying part-time for an MA in Reception of the Classical World at University College London (UCL).
