What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that foster academic growth and allow me to apply my communication skills in impactful ways.

I am currently a 2nd year PhD candidate in Political Media and Communications at Bournemouth University, where I am exploring the intersection of media and politics. My academic journey began with a focus on Medicine, followed by a Master's in Biomedical Research Science, concentrating on Autism and Molecular Biology. This diverse educational background has equipped me with a unique perspective on the complexities of communication in political contexts.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable experience as a tutor, teaching students from undergraduate to PhD levels. My freelance copywriting work spans various domains, including advertising, B2B, and SEO, allowing me to hone my skills in effective communication. I also have practical experience in leisure management and as a lifeguard, which has enhanced my leadership and teamwork abilities.
