Ruban
Nathan
BA Drama, 2014
ACTOR AND DRAMA TEACHER
“My experiences at Greenwich have helped me to be more disciplined in my approach to the creative work I do. The little things like sticking to a structure and keeping to a routine was something I really struggled with before coming to Greenwich.”
After graduating, Ruban travelled to China to teach English. Upon returning he has worked in sales and also in events roles at two London-based art galleries. Ruban’s work on the fashion blog Flint’s Trove took him to Fashion Weeks in London and Copenhagen. However, this work was sadly cut short due to health complications.
Since recovery, Ruban has filmed with the NHS and an AXA insurance campaign, raising awareness for both Organ Donation and Mental Health awareness, respectively.
