Digital Assistant at Gathered
Rebecca is a Digital Assistant for Gathered and loves creating online content, particularly writing articles. Writing has always been a big part of Rebecca’s life, leading her to study English Language at University, but she discovered her love of creating social media content, including photography and video, since enrolling in a level 3 apprenticeship in content creation at the start of this year. Before working for Gathered, Rebecca was the Production Editor of Today’s Quilter for almost two years and fell in love with the world of craft and the wonderful crafty community. She is extremely passionate about how craft is a fantastic mindful activity and believes everyone would benefit from taking up craft as a hobby.
