As an outgoing and hard working art enthusiast, I graduated from Manchester University with an Upper Second Class Honours degree in Art History. I am working in public relations for the arts and interior design sector and have experience working in a small, expanding company. I have been a motivated, organised and committed employee with a proactive and upbeat attitude, and have developed the ability to lead and take ownership of projects. I believe my background has positioned me well for a career in this field, by enhancing my ability to visually analyse objects of creative interest with a critical eye. I am creative and thrive in environments that require innovation and enthusiasm.
