About me
I am a native English speaker fluent in Spanish and have lived in Mexico for a year. I possess strong written and communication skills and have conducted multiple interviews with artistic figures including film directors and musicians in both English and Spanish. Whilst studying at university, I was Fashion Editor and Arts Writer for The Gryphon Newspaper. I am experienced in cultural event management and promotion and have worked at multiple UK music festivals and assisted with various art exhibition openings. I have participated in Literary Festivals on panel discussions, have written reviews of literary events and judged the children’s literature competitions at The Marlborough Literary Festival. I am confident in my wide-ranging knowledge of the arts and am pursuing a career in arts journalism.
