I am an English and Classics graduate from the University of Birmingham who is passionate about words. The Art of Communication has always fascinated me and this interest has informed every career choice I have made thus far from my qualifications in Latin and Greek, to my degree in English and Classics and my first job since leaving university - was working in advertising. I have recently left a comms role with the Financial Times and I am looking to take my career to the next level.
