About me
I am a London based Philosophy graduate, receiving an upper second-class degree from the University of Edinburgh. During my studies, I specialised in political philosophy and feminist philosophy, two subjects which I am personally highly passionate about. I wrote two independent dissertations, one on methods to overcome anti-black violence and another on the ethics of sex work. I achieved an upper second-class grade in both pieces of work, evidencing my strong research and writing skills. Whilst undertaking my studies, I also developed my personal interest in art, regularly attending life drawing classes, managing to curate a digital portfolio of my work and selling several pieces on commission. I am personally highly interested in the intersections between feminist philosophy, politics, and the arts. I am currently employed by Oaksure Property Services as Artist Partnership Liaison and Digital Marketing Manager. As Artist Partnership Liaison, I use my knowledge of the arts and social issues to work with charitable organisations and companies involved in public outreach, to provide them with vacant commercial space. As Digital Marketing Manager, I manage our social media channels, create and design copy and presentations to give to clients, manage our google analytics and SEO.
