About me
I am a recent MA History of Art graduate and a musician in London's underground music scene under the name 'Platonica Erotica'. I have a long history of writing music and art reviews, blog posts, and have been received favourably for my academic writing. I am interested in working in writing/editorial, heritage, and the performing arts.
