Expertise

I specialise in English literature, feminist writing, French and linguistics. I am also interested in history, specifically women's and Greek mythology.

  • I completed a half marathon completely on my own in secondary school which I am still proud of.
  • I received an award for academic excellence at the Gilberd which was a newly created award for my year group.
  • I performed as the lead character, Prince Caspian, for my school production at a theatre despite my extreme nerves.

Experience

I have always involved myself in writing for my schools' journals. I wrote articles for my college's newspaper The Purple Crown, and have published articles both in the news and opinions sections of UCL's Pi Media.

Education

I went to the Gilberd School and then studied English Literature, French and Economics at Colchester Royal Grammar School and am now reading English and French at University College London.
