Im studying Fashion Communication and Promotion and will graduate this year, 2017. This course covers all aspects of the
Creative Industry, excluding the design and make. Areas covered include, Trend Forecasting, Brand Identity, Promotional skills
when creating a brand, Brand Launching, Styling, Illustrations, Advertising, Print, Visual Merchandising and Event and PR. All
these areas enable me to have a broad range of skills of creative mixed media.
I have been the Social welfare and Wellbeing officer for Volleyball for two years which involves organizing socials for the club,
getting to know everyone on a very personal level, and I am also part trained in Mental Health. So therefore I have been a
person to talk to with any issues, which holds a lot of responsibility.
It has always been a long-term ambition of mine to work in the Creative Industry. To have the chance to Travel with work is also
an aspiration of mine.

Running for Vice President Services 2017
I ran for VP Services in March, which meant getting a team together, a campaign, resources on a budget and campaigning over
10 days straight with my team. This meant I had to lead a team of 20 plus, talk to as many people as I could around the
university, lectures, halls of residence and also be part of three hustings which meant talking on stages to hundreds of people.
Overall it was a huge experience and built me so much more as an individual.
