About me
Hello there! If you're looking for an events professional, a budding archivist, a PR whizz or just someone to give you a good laugh, I'm your woman. I have extensive experience within the events industry and, because I'm history obsessed (mostly with the Tudors), you'll mostly find me oggling at a Holbein or some rare taxidermy in some of London's finest institutions.

    BA (Hons) : History 2:1The University of Sussex
     - Falmer, Brighton, United Kingdom
    Whilst studying history at the University of Sussex I have developed the ability to analyse and reflect on key events and ideas as well as an ability to assimilate, research and select information. I am competent at managing large and diverse quantities of information and selecting relevant and appropriate details. I am also becoming a skilled researcher often seeking out and investigating primary data sources locally, nationally and abroad. Studying history has given me the confidence to challenge established views and debate alternative perspectives putting forward clear and concise arguments. I have simultaneously developed a knowledge and understanding of a wide range of different societies and peoples as well as an appreciation of the diversity of historical specialisms and approaches. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of and the skills I have acquired as a result can be applied to almost all working environments.
