Recent graduate with expertise in critical theory and visitor engagement.
What I'm looking for
I am a recent graduate with a Master's in Critical Theory from King's College London, where I explored the intersections of feminist and queer studies through my dissertation. My academic journey has equipped me with a profound understanding of cultural politics and the ability to critically analyze contemporary issues.
In my professional experience, I have worked as a Visitor Service Assistant and Customer Service Representative, where I honed my skills in visitor engagement and support. I am passionate about creating inclusive and accessible experiences for all, ensuring that every visitor feels welcomed and informed. My background in research has also allowed me to develop strong analytical and communication skills, which I apply in every role I undertake.
