PERSONAL PROFILE

I am an enthusiastic and sociable individual and enjoy working in a collaborative environment. 
Broadly creative, I specialise in Graphic Design, Campaigns and Photography.  I have just exhibited two social action projects at the Loughborough Degree Art Show, and have been selected to represent my university at the 2018 D&AD New Blood Exhibition in London.  Recently, I participated in a Hackathon for Christian Aid, where I used my creative thinking and problem-solving skills to win the Generous Giving Award.  I have strong interpersonal skills and at school had the privilege of being elected a Year 7 Prefect and have mentored students both at school and more recently at university.  I have been involved in charity promotion, and in planning and presenting at an annual youth event.
