Currently studying English Literature and History at the University of Sussex. I have hands-on professional experience in journalism, hospitality, and education across multiple countries and thrive in team-based environments that value positivity, adaptability, and collaboration. I enjoy writing, photography, painting, and music, and I keep active with personal projects like my Zanzibar-based novella and contributions to my university newspaper. I also play drums in a rock band and love creating art. Having dabbled with voiceovers and received praise for my timber and low tone, I look forward to helping upcoming artists in that department too.
