About me
Thank you for taking an interest in my profile. My degree has provided me with the ability to conduct research both efficiently and effectively, communicate clearly and coherently and take initiative on work tasks. Though academia is a vital part of university, my time in higher education has also given me great independence and increased my self-motivation to accomplish more in the near future. Throughout my education, I have interned at iconic and award-winning companies such as, Channel 4, Metro, Dazed and Confused and Golin (LONDON) and have worked at global retail companies such as H&M and Topshop. These experiences have allowed me to not only improve on my communicative, organisation and teamwork skills but, improved my writing and researching skills and capabilities. I am actively seeking PR internships/entry-level roles!
