Editor of Telegraph Travel Visits RPCC Rachel Cranshaw, ex student and Senior Commissioning Editor for Telegraph Travel, visited us today to give our students some insight into a career in journalism. They had a Q + A with her and did a creative travel guide challenge! Rachel is an ex-student at Regents Park, so it was wonderful to have her back to share her journey with current students and invite them to consider a potential future career pathway!
