In the next instalment of our highlight series for our 10 year anniversary, we had a chat to Camille Thomson, who volunteered as our Director, Finance for the 2024 festival!
Camille Thomson
Director, Finance
What do you do for Pint of Science?
Director of Finance (for now at least).
What does success look like in your Pint of Science Role?
For me it’s probably less “sexy” than other roles. If, at the end of a season, we still have money in the bank and all our bills are paid, that’s pretty good. If our venues feel like we’ve turned out a good crowd and they want to have us again, that’s good too.
Why PoS over other volunteer organisations?
For me it was the science and events combination. I always like to see ways we can take the communication of science to non-traditional venues. The fact that I had some skills that were needed in a not so visible role was fine with me.
What do you do as a day job?
Currently I’m between jobs but I’ve worked in Science Communications and events doing everything from social media to running awards ceremonies. Stay tuned for what I get up to next!
In three "dot points" describe yourself?
I really don’t like these.. so I’ll just say I like getting the job done and doing it well!
