About me
I am a passionate, creative, confident individual who always gives 100% to my work. I achieved a Distinction in my Master’s in Journalism at University of the Arts London. I was also awarded the Neil McLennan Journalism Award for my individual and collaborative work across the course. Previously, I studied an interdisciplinary American Studies (BA) degree at the University of Sussex which developed my passions for film, art, fashion, photography, history, and literature. As well as this, I am passionate about bringing awareness to social and environmental issues, and other current crises in the world. Sustainability in fashion, climate change, as well as humanitarian issues, such as the refugee crisis, are a few issues that I would love to write or volunteer my time to.
Projects

  • Green Finance Observatory TikTok Campaign
    Green Finance Observatory TikTok CampaignI worked in a group to produce short, humorous TikTok content for GFO in order to debunk green finance myths and make the jargon more accessible to Gen Z. We created and produced 4 videos to explain natural capital accounting and biodiversity offsetting, as well as the framing behind these policies.

    Grade: First I am happy to say that I attained a First Class Honours degree. I really enjoyed doing such an interdisciplinary degree where I was able to explore issues of race, queerness, feminism, and class, which are very prevalent in the United States. In my final year, I studied Race and Ethnicity in Photography and in Popular Cinema, where I achieved over 80% on each module.
