Cora Gauthier is an American-born University student, is in her final year of a bachelor's in communication and media at Bournemouth University. Having originally enrolled in a biochemistry and molecular biology programme back home, it took a global pandemic and suffering live music industry to remind her of her true passions. Cora loves nothing more than attending gigs and could not bear to see them go away in the wake of Covid-19. She packed her bags, moved thousands of miles away, and found her place in the faculty of communications and media at BU. Though she is only one person and cannot save live music single-handedly, she hopes to use her degree to keep the industry alive and work closely with the artists who’ve inspired her from the start.
