About me
Senior Communications Officer
Education
- Bath Spa University
  2018 - 2021
  Bachelor of Science - BSc with Honours Global Development & Sustainability 2:1 (Hons)
  Activities and Societies: I undertook modules in risk assessment, sustainability in life and work, GIS, and advertisement for social causes. I was an elected member of the democracy and scrutiny committee, social secretary of the feminism society, and an academic representative for my course. I attended meetings for these roles alongside my studies and was able to understand and implement the Student Unions’ democratic systems and ‘one team’ message through the height of the COVID pandemic. My dissertation was based on critical analysis of homelessness policy representations in newspaper discourse during New Labour. With my degree I hope to progress into the social responsibility sector and envision myself working in roles within the public sector.
