Nikky Vass - Class of 2010
As 2026 marks North Hertfordshire College’s 35th birthday, former Creative Arts student Nikky reached out to share her memories of NHC. Check out what she told us below:
“I enrolled at North Hertfordshire College in 2006 and went on to complete a BTEC in Art and Design, then a Foundation Degree in Fashion. Since then, I’ve started working as a Social Media and Marketing Executive at Finishline UK.
“My time at NHC helped prepare me for my current role because of the marketing elements embedded into both courses. I use these skills on a daily basis now. The team at NHC also gave me confidence in my creativity, helping me be myself and feel ready for the real world of work.
“My favourite memory of my time at NHC is definitely the Clothes Show! I was lucky enough to do it twice with Julia Flemminger, I had so much fun seeing my designs on the runway at Birmingham NEC!
“I’d like to say a massive thank you to Julia, Andrea, Tracy, Brian, Jeremy, Martin, Len, Dawn, and all the staff at NHC.”
