Humanity has constantly been moving forward. Now, we find ourselves in a new era defined by artificial intelligence. Since the release of ChatGPT 4, the reality of a world with AI is more present than ever before. Knowledge and curiosity are the two driving forces of innovation, and

    BAThe University of Leeds
     - Leeds, United Kingdom
    BA History of Art, securing a first. Selection of modules enrolled on during course: - Introduction to Museum and Gallery Studies. - Bodies of Difference: Gender, Power and the Visual Arts. - Critical Approaches to Photography. - Unmaking Things: Material and Ideas in the European Renaissance. - I also enrolled on a discovery module in the school of Theology entitled Religion, Gender and Society. In my final year I independently researched, wrote and edited a 15,000 dissertation entitled: How do iconographical representations of the Virgin Mary, through her evolution from celibate wife to devoted mother, mark her as a figure of transformation? Further, how do these developments correlate with the volatile cultural climate operating during the Renaissance period? - Full knowledge of MHRA and Harvard academic referencing, used throughout my academic work.
