About me
I have recently completed a Masters in Heritage Management at Queen Mary University, where I gained work experience at Historic Royal Palaces. I am hugely interested in the museum and heritage sector and am looking for a career within the creative and cultural industry.
For my BA (Hons), I studied History at the University of Nottingham where I graduated with a 2:1.
