Seeking a 2025-26 internship in PR, communications, or branding. Passionate about creative strategy, storytelling, and building connection
I am a second-year Liberal Arts student at the University of Manchester with a passion for creative direction, branding, and communications. My academic background and professional experience reflect a commitment to storytelling, visual design, and strategic thinking, all of which I’ve developed through roles in marketing, photography, and project management.
My creative career began in freelance photography, where I worked with artists and brands to bring their visions to life. One of my most notable projects was capturing dynamic live performance photography for Kay Young, an artist represented by a leading music agency. This role required me to deliver high-quality visuals under tight time constraints, showcasing my ability to perform in high-pressure environments. I also directed photoshoots for fashion brands like Baitface Clothing and S.A.X.I., blending creative styling, location scouting, and post-production to produce visuals that aligned with brand identities and resonated with audiences.
Beyond photography, I’ve developed expertise in brand strategy and communications. As a Student Brand Ambassador for Raptor Marketing Agency, I led creative campaigns, including one focused on WKD, where I developed strategies to increase audience engagement and managed content across social media platforms. This role taught me how to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams and execute campaigns with measurable impact.
In my current role as Fashion Sector Manager at The Ivy Collective, I oversee the design, branding, and sales of in-house clothing lines. By combining creative vision with strategic planning, I’ve enhanced the brand’s visibility and increased sales. These experiences have strengthened my ability to manage complex projects, meet tight deadlines, and think innovatively.
One of my most formative experiences was participating in The Holiday Club, an intensive three-week creative program in partnership with Fujifilm House of Photography and *The Face Magazine*. This opportunity allowed me to refine my skills in photography, post-production, set design, styling, and journalism. Collaborating with industry professionals, I contributed to the production of a magazine titled *Many Tabs*, which showcased editorial-quality imagery and compelling written content. This experience emphasized the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and creative problem-solving—qualities I bring to every role.
Academically, my Liberal Arts degree has provided me with a multidisciplinary perspective and strong critical thinking skills. Balancing my studies with professional work has developed my time management abilities and resilience, equipping me to excel in dynamic and fast-paced environments.
At the core of my work is a dedication to impactful storytelling and connecting with audiences. Whether crafting visually compelling campaigns, managing cross-platform communications, or developing innovative branding strategies, I bring creativity, technical expertise, and strategic insight to every project.
For 2025-2026, I am seeking opportunities in PR, communications, or branding where I can leverage my experience and continue to grow within a forward-thinking organization. I am passionate about contributing to meaningful projects and thrive in environments that value collaboration, creativity, and innovation.
