Rubie Barker
By Beth Rees
Rubie is a recent English Literature MA graduate of Cardiff University where she also completed her undergraduate degree. Growing up in the English countryside, she moved to Wales for university in 2019 and has no plans on leaving any time soon. During her three years at Cardiff University’s Quench Magazine, she spent a year as music section editor, working closely with PRs and contributors to produce content for the award-winning student magazine, whilst also reviewing and interviewing chart-topping artists, including her favourite Sam Fender.
After completing a marketing internship with Green Man Festival (one of FD’s wonderful clients), she joined the Front Door team in 2023 as an Account Executive whilst finishing her master’s. She now works full-time with the team writing press releases, blogs and planning social media campaigns.
She balances her work life with her love for live music, exploring Cardiff’s coffee shops and cooking her housemates roast dinners!
