Graciel’s journey: from psychology to event management

Graciel Cacnio’s experience volunteering at community, fundraising and festival events throughout her undergraduate psychology degree and beyond sparked a passion for the event industry.

Recognising the need for specialised knowledge and skills, she decided to pursue a Master of Event Management at UTS to learn from industry experts and advance her new career path.

“The Master of Event Management at UTS provided me with practical knowledge and skills directly applicable to the real-world events industry, allowing me to solve problems and create innovative solutions.”

The most valuable aspect of her education at UTS was the practical knowledge and skills she acquired, which she applied directly in the workplace. All assessments were based on industry scenarios, enabling her to tackle real-world problems and devise strategic solutions.

Balancing a full-time job while studying part-time was challenging, but Graciel was proud that she managed it.  

“Balancing work and study was made easier by the supportive teachers and flexible evening classes at UTS. This enabled me to continue my professional journey while pursuing further education.”

Studying Event Management at UTS opened doors to career opportunities in the events industry that Graciel never expected. The practical and industry-focused curriculum prepared her for the dynamic and fast-paced world of event management, enabling her to achieve success.
