I am a recent postgraduate from the University of Bath, holding a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology. With a strong academic foundation in the sociological study of human behaviour and society, I am now eager to pursue a career in arts and lifestyle journalism as well as social media marketing. As a passionate consumer of popular culture and trends, I possess a keen eye for understanding how cultural phenomena shape and reflect broader societal dynamics. Additionally, I actively engage in creative pursuits, including making my own music and critically reviewing films and music discographies. This hands-on experience allows me to approach arts and lifestyle journalism with a well-rounded perspective, combining my analytical skills with a genuine passion for the creative industries. I am excited to contribute my sociological insights and artistic expertise to create compelling and meaningful content in the ever-evolving landscape of popular culture.

During my undergraduate studies at the University of Bath, I delved deep into the fascinating world of horror cinema for my thesis. Titled "Wronged women make the best villains: A Critical Analysis of female villains in the genre of Horror," my research aimed to dissect the various roles women have been portrayed as in the horror genre and examine the stark contrast between the traditional male gaze and the emerging female resurgence within the genre.
My thesis explored the recurring theme of wronged women as villains in horror films, delving into the societal implications and underlying messages conveyed through these characterisations. I critically analysed the evolution of female representation in horror, from being victims and objects of male violence to empowered figures seeking vengeance and challenging societal norms. By dissecting key films, I examined how these portrayals intersect with broader gender dynamics and sociocultural contexts.
A significant aspect of my research was dedicated to the comparison between the male gaze, which historically objectifies and marginalises women in horror, and the burgeoning movement of female-driven horror narratives. I investigated how female directors, writers, and characters are reshaping the genre, subverting stereotypes, and crafting nuanced narratives that address social issues and reflect female perspectives.
My undergraduate thesis not only enhanced my understanding of the horror genre and its sociocultural implications but also developed my critical analysis and research skills. It equipped me with the ability to explore complex themes, challenge existing conventions, and engage in meaningful discussions about gender representation in popular culture.
With this knowledge and passion for exploring the portrayal of women in horror, I am eager to contribute to the field of arts and lifestyle journalism. I aim to shed light on the evolving landscape of horror cinema, championing the voices of marginalised creators and highlighting the significance of diverse narratives. Through my writing and critical analysis, I aspire to foster a deeper appreciation for the genre while promoting a more inclusive and thought-provoking conversation around the representation of women in film.
