Education
    Brand Leadership MSc (Distinction)
     - 
    I completed every module of the course with a distinction and have also finished with the highest average grade in my cohort. For my dissertation, I created a set of comprehensive guidelines for the creation, implementation and measurement of brand evoked movements (social movements created by brands). Furthermore, this experience has allowed me to successfully hone a diverse portfolio of skills. Most notably, I have developed my strategic and creative capabilities, sharpened my storytelling finesse, grasped a firm understanding of both digital and emerging technologies, as well as several other areas that are discussed within my resume.
    BSc Business Management (First Class with Honours)
     - 
    My most notable module grades include 'Building Strengths at Work' (85%), 'Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management' (78.7%), 'Marketing: Social Responsibility and the Law' (77%), 'Managing Innovation and Creativity' (75.7%), 'Economics for International Business' (74.5%), 'Strategic Management' (72.4%), 'Principles of Marketing' (71.5%) as well as 'Business and Company Law' (70%).
