Lawren Tait

Since leaving the academy, I completed a Digital Marketing Degree Apprenticeship at Unilever, combining university study with hands-on experience as a digital marketer and project manager across diverse areas. I’m now a Performance Marketing Specialist in Unilever’s Beauty & Wellbeing team, working with brands such as Vaseline, Simple, and TRESemmé to lead retailer campaigns and drive strategies across key channels. Looking back, taking part in extracurricular activities and opportunities like school musicals and student leadership helped me build teamwork, communication, and leadership skills; qualities that have been essential to my career success!

Tanya Perez Jovetic

Tanya has performed extensively with the Guildhall Symphony Orchestra, Fidelio Orchestra, and Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra, as well as in side-by-side projects with the London Symphony Orchestra, including the BMW Classics concert in Trafalgar Square in July 2024. She has also been invited to take part in projects at Abbey Road Studios, the Royal Opera House, the Royal Academy of Music, and recorded live sessions in recording studios. Outside of the UK she has taken part in masterclasses in Italy, Montenegro and France.

My time at Chelsea Academy during secondary school and sixth form played a crucial role in setting me on the path to studying music. Surrounded by my amazing and encouraging teachers, as well as being given external opportunities such as performing at Royal Festival Hall in 2016, I was able to gain confidence and discipline that shaped my decision to pursue music professionally.

Having just graduated from a Bachelor in Music Performance with honours, I have now carried onto my Masters at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. On weekends I have also resumed teaching at a music school which I have found to be very enjoyable and rewarding.

Xheneta Mehmeti

Since leaving Chelsea Academy, I have pursued a career in law. After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Law, I completed my studies for the Legal Practice Course and Master’s degree. I continue my journey to qualify as a solicitor. During my studies, I developed a stronger passion for immigration law, which has led me to my current role as paralegal at Helen Smith Immigration, an outstanding firm that allows me to make a real difference by helping individuals and families navigate complex immigration matters.

My experience at Chelsea Academy played a significant role in shaping my career path. The extracurricular opportunities provided helped us show and obtain skills we wouldn’t normally do in day to day lessons; particularly the debate club I joined every Friday during “Golden Time,” allowed me to discover and strengthen my ability to construct arguments, think critically, and find solutions to challenging issues. My teachers recognised my potential early on and encouraged me to refine these skills further. Those experiences gave me the confidence and drive to pursue a profession where I could apply my passion for advocacy to real world situations.

Tina Lavithi

Since leaving Chelsea Academy, I completed my BSc in Biochemistry at UCL and went on to pursue my MSc in Bioscience Futures: Communication, Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Imperial College London, where I also served as a Course Representative and Postgraduate Education Board Representative, contributing to programme quality, policy development and student experience.

Alongside my studies, I gained experience across consulting, investment analysis and youth development—working as a Consultant and Investment Analyst, and later Chair of the Alumni Committee for In2scienceUK.

I am now working as an Associate Business Consultant in R&D at Veeva Systems, supporting strategy and solutions in the life sciences sector. Alongside my full-time role, I also serve as a Trustee for GFS (Girls Friendly Society).

The opportunities and support I received at Chelsea Academy (serving as Head Girl, leading my House Charity, mentoring for Oppidan Education, and holding roles of Prefect and Student Librarian) laid the foundations for my confidence, leadership skills and academic ambition, shaping the pathway that led me to pursue higher education and a career at the intersection of science, strategy and technology.
