About me
I am a passionate, creative, confident individual who always gives 100% to my work. Having worked in customer facing roles for a long time, I have developed a good sense of self and am a friendly, people-orientated person. Currently, I am studying an MA in Arts and Lifestyle Journalism at the University of the Arts London. Thus far, I have learnt how to write and structure articles, produce, film and edit videos, and produce and market a social media campaign for an organisation in a collaborative group. I am excited to start curating more pieces of written and digital journalistic work to help me flourish in an editorial or social media career. Previously, I studied an interdisciplinary American Studies (BA) degree at the University of Sussex which developed my passions for film, art, photography, history, and literature. My 3 years at Sussex have helped me to become a more aware and well-rounded individual. 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.

    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.
