Hi, I'm Ayala.

I'm an English student, studying in Bloomsbury, London, and I've always been drawn to the creative world — but working out how to actually get a foot in the door felt far more complicated than it should be.

I started Bloomsbury Pulse because I couldn't find the thing I needed: one place with the entry-level creative roles actually worth applying for, and some honest help on how it all works. So I built it.

Since then, some wonderful fellow students have come on board to help me run it. Together we dig through job boards, community boards, socials and company pages so you don't have to — and we keep it free for everyone.

Like everyone else, I'm figuring life out as I go. This is just the bit I can help with.
