I graduated from Northumbria University in 2021 with a First in Marketing
Management, and I’m now the founder of Sea the Love, an ocean-inspired
skincare brand. While setting up my business and developing my products, I
started going to the University’s Incubator, which gave me a supportive space
to work from and access to valuable mentoring in areas like marketing, website
design, and sales. This guidance helped me build strong foundations for my
business from the very start.
Through Northumbria, I also secured two funding opportunities: £5,000 from the Willan Trust and £1,000 from the Susan Dobson Trust as part of the Female Accelerator programme. That 12-week programme provided invaluable mentoring, workshops, and a community of inspiring female founders. The support I received from the enterprise team at Northumbria was truly instrumental in helping me turn my idea into a business and successfully launch Sea the Love.
