Living on a Farm

Living on a Farm

Donjeta Zenullahi interviews Ms. Silvia, the host of the Spring 2022 Tuscany trip. She lives in the countryside of Tuscany on her own farm where they produce what they eat. It is very different to live on a farm compared to living in an apartment in a city, as Ms. Silvia says “it is more physically demanding”.

Find out how she has adapted to her farm life over the past four years and grasped different types of opportunities in the podcast below.

Her talk is chock-full of practical advice, such as how to create the conditions for new work opportunities, how to manage difficult clients, and how to develop thick skin. Dot’s work can be seen here: https://www.instagram.com/dotrogersting/

Meet The Artist – Helen Molesworth

Ever wondered what “pleochroism” or “chatoyancy” meant? On February 16, Meet the Artist and Career Services co-hosted a Career Talk with renowned gem expert Helen Molesworth, who gave us an overview of her 20-year long career in the jewellery industry. Helen’s compelling story took us from her classics-reading days at Oxford University, to her studies at the Gemmological Association of Great Britain, to working as a jewellery expert between London and Geneva (she was in charge of selling the private jewellery collection of HRH the Princess Margaret in London in 2006), to joining Gübelin as managing director, to recently becoming head of business development for Gembridge, a new digital platform for trading gemstones, pearls and jewellery. An extraordinary story, and one that is likely to remain imprinted in the minds of the Webster community for a long time to come.
