- 'The smallest dragon in London'As an undergraduate at Queen Mary University London, I was selected to publish a revision of one of my essays on medieval fashion, ‘The Smallest Dragon in London’ with the Museum of London’s online repository. This was a key learning experience in how to liaise with various stakeholders and adjust my academic writing style to appeal to a broader audience.

- Research Assistant and Editor for 'A Material History of the Bible in England 1200-1553'I was employed by by Dr Poleg (Senior Lecturer in Material History at QMUL) to edit his manuscript (A Material History of the Bible in England 1200-1553) and adjust it for an undergraduate audience. This involved examining, analysing and evaluating the manuscript and suggesting possible alternatives whilst ensuring the complex arguments presented retained their nuance and message.
