Experience

My ardour stems back to my younger years, again achieving an 'Excellence' award for English, History, Modern Languages, Music, RMPS, and Science from 2018-19. Monthly, I also submit an entry to '50 Word Fiction' by the Scottish Book Trust and 'The Solstice Prize' by Writing East Midlands. Likewise, I was also a member of the Pupil Leadership Team as an SCQF Gold Pupil Ambassador and Class Representative in Highschool which led me to become the English Literature Representative in my first year of University.

Education

To explore the shift from Highschool to University I completed and passed both Focus West's 'Top-Up' programme, ran by the University of Glasgow, and Step Up To University's 'Foundation Academy' ran by UWS. Allowing me to explore citations, university lectures and what is expected of a student at degree level. On coming to University I was awarded 2 scholarships for my dedication and "talent" in secondary.
