Former PR Account Director and social media strategist now re-training through a criminology PhD

Carolina is a former PR Account Director and social media strategist now re-training through a criminology PhD. Carolina has a Master in Criminology from the University of Sydney and a BA in Journalism from City University London, where she specialised in studying social media's impact on society. Her undergraduate dissertation, focusing on how the most followed UK journalists on Twitter used it to comment on Margaret Thatcher's death, won the Undergraduate Awards 2015 for Media & Journalism and was presented at media conference ECREA 2014 in Lisbon. Her findings brought her to the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, where she joined a panel on how millennials use and contribute to the media. She is now back to City for a PhD focusing on online harassment.
