Alumni Story - Amelia Taylor ('19)

We’re thrilled to share that Burgmann alumna, Amelia Taylor (‘19), achieved first class honours at the Australian National University in 2023 and is now producing a brand new podcast series, ‘Space Matters: The Space Governance Podcast,’ alongside the Australian Centre for Space Governance.

Amelia completed a Bachelor of Music (Honours) with a double major in Composition and Music Technology.

She attended Burgmann from Preschool through to Year 12 and says Burgmann influenced her love of music and sound.

‘Burgmann provided a rich environment for music development,’ says Amelia. ‘Through various co-curricular activities such as school musicals and choirs, as well as pursuing a double music program in my final year – I believe my passion for music and sound began at school.’

‘The education I received, alongside the supportive community and involvement in programs like the Duke of Ed equipped me with the resilience and foundation to pursue my own path, establish a network and develop a diverse portfolio,’ she says.

Between the completion of her undergraduate degree and commencement of her honours year, Amelia interned as a foley artist and digitisation technician which she says further opened the possibility of a career in sound production.

Now, Amelia is engaged as a freelance producer and has been establishing an independent creative consultancy business.
