Casey Li

Production Coordinator - Sky Entertainment

''We pushed ourselves to limits we never knew existed''

Casey is originally from Manchester and finished training at MYP spring 2012. She has worked as Production Coordinator for Entertainment at Sky since January 2013. 

"Two years after leaving MAMA Youth Project and the other graduates and I still keep in touch. We've all gone in different directions, but we still have time for a drink.  MYP would have been a different place without the characters we had in our team, without Bob and Serena on our case all the time.

When we first started we were all wearing rose tinted glasses, all innocent and new. When we finished we were tired, bruised and shells of our former selves. But I wouldn't change a thing about my experience. We pushed ourselves to limits we never knew existed, found new levels of exhaustion – all the while focussing on getting the job done. We made cups of teas for each other, gave one another hugs and overcame bouts of unhinged giddiness together. Since then I've learnt a lot about the industry, it’s hard and it’s demanding but you know that from your very first day at MAMA Youth Project. It’s tough and you know that, but would you choose any other career path?" - February 2014
