    Bachelor of Arts (BA) Warwick University
    Coventry, United Kingdom
    I’m currently in my second year at Warwick, studying English Literature. This year, I’m particularly interested in American Studies, which I have furthered in my module States of Damage - this looks at Neoliberalism and Late Capitalism in America and Western countries. After receiving a 2:1 in my first year, I plan to study my Masters in Journalism in London in 2022.

    A LevelRichard Huish College
     - Taunton, United Kingdom
    I received B-B-B in English Literature, History Late-Modern and Classical Civilisation. I also achieved an A* in my Extended Project Qualification, focusing on the poetry of Irish Modernist Louis MacNeice. During my time at Richard Huish, I was a Student Ambassador (working college events to greet and give guidance to potential students), and I was also a Student Trustee. This latter role involved me attending regular meetings with other committee members to discuss the colleges purpose as both an academic institution and trust.
