     - London, United Kingdom
    I graduated from the University of West London in July, having achieved 1st Class Honours in BA Advertising and Public Relations. Whilst there, I developed my IT skills and learnt about using social media to build awareness and encourage engagement between the public and a brand. I also developed my communication skills by delivering presentations to industry professionals on a fortnightly basis. I learnt to prioritise my workload, honed by studying and working part-time over my three years at University where I became very skilled at maintaining organisation and keeping a structured routine.
