Student Success Story

Kristen Mortenson

Kristen began her Performing Arts journey with us in 2019 with her Level 3 Extended Diploma, and has since progressed to her HND in Dance and Performing Arts.

Throughout her time at Burnley College and BCUC, Kristen has been a student innovator and Representative for Performing Arts Students, working with other Students and Staff to ensure that her peers’ voices were always heard.

Taking part in trips to London to see the renowned Move It Dance Festival, sparked Kristen’s dream to pursue a career in Dance and Performing Arts.

The BCUC careers team have guided Kristen through a variety of potential careers choices, but since graduating, Kristen has decided to audition to be a performer on cruise ships. She feels this job will give her the opportunity to do what she loves every day, whilst travelling the world.
