Specializing in neotribalism, subcultural theory and identity this body of work consisted of multiple research methods amongst club culture communities in Birmingham and Coventry.Along with this primary body of work, I was able to direct, write and create many different visual and auditory projects developing my practical skills in both video and sound production. In my third academic year, I took part in an international research project looking at post-feminism in post-soviet countries. This took me to Lithuanian Parliament where I filmed interviews with MP’s and Activists across the country. I also was invited to give a keynote speech outside Lithuanian Parliament to talk about feminism at the firs feminist rally to be held in Lithuania. This was broadcast nationally on Lithuanian television and digital media. Show less

      Internship - Media Producer

      In my third academic year of university, I managed to orchestrate my own international work experience in San Jose, Costa Rica.

The independence of working and living in another country really helped me see the world from another perspective and made me learn how to speak to people from all different backgrounds, regardless of language barriers.• Filming and creating videos content for the newspaper La Republica,• Filming high quality interviews and editing footage to create online marketing materials for the Newspaper’s social media channels. • Working with a team of solely Spanish speaking journalists.• Filming and coordinating the set-up of video and sound equipment at locations across Costa Rica Show less
