Well good afternoon!

I'm Rhian, and today's my first day at National Theatre Wales as Communications Assistant, and it's also my first day actually living in Cardiff!

For the past 18 months i've been a part of the team at Sherman Theatre just over the road in Cathays. I wore a number of hats over there from Digital Marketing Assistant to Ticketing and Reception assistant to Development Assistant. The varied role i held there has really helped me in learning more about the arts, theatre and Cardiff itself. It was a great 18 months, and I'm really proud of my work there.

Onwards and upwards though, and now here i am at National Theatre Wales! As someone who doesn't enjoy lots of change, i haven't messed about in moving out of my family home in Neath, getting a new flat and changing jobs all in one weekend! I'm very much looking forward to the new experiences and challenges that i'll encounter with all this change, and can't wait to get my teeth into the exciting projects that are coming up at National Theatre Wales.

Mametz will be my first big comms project here, so if you haven't taken a look at the website yet, i suggest you do. it's beautiful... but i am a bit of a website/social media geek! http://nationaltheatrewales.org/mametz

That's all from me for now, but do say hello and get in touch with me! More Cardiff based/arts friends the better. I know there are many members of the National Theatre Wales community and TEAM about, so i hope to meet you all over the next few months!

See you soon!

Rhian
