I graduated in 2021 from the University of Warwick with a First in Classical Civilisation and have spent the past year completing a Masters in the Classical World and its Reception at King’s College London.

Volunteering was a huge part of my time at university – I gained my first experience with fundraising as part of Warwick UNICEF on Campus as I helped to organise, and participated in, a 24-hour sponsored group fast to raise money for children in Ukraine. The following year, I continued my work with the society by participating in the annual ‘Schools Project’. This involved working as a team to create an interactive workshop for local primary school children to educate them on current humanitarian issues. My team’s project was focussed on climate change, and I was really excited to have the opportunity to combine my passion for education with my interest the environment. Whilst at King’s, I continued my endeavours to help combat environmental issues as part of KCL Eco Society, where I was able to participate in a nationwide initiative to improve green spaces by helping to plant 250 trees in a local park.

Outside of university life, I enjoy exploring museums and art galleries as well as crocheting. I also love travelling and learning about other cultures, so I’ve spent the summer trying to improve my Italian after taking classes for two years at Warwick. I’m really excited to move back to London and start work in a city I love, and I’m looking forward to gaining new skills and learning more about the charity sector throughout this year!

I graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2020 after completing a degree in Anthropology. I thoroughly enjoyed my time studying Anthropology, I have always held an interest in people and been curious to understand the hidden meanings behind certain customs and practices. I’m looking forward to applying the analytical skills I gained when examining social issues on this programme.

Since graduating, I have been working at Clarks Shoes in Birmingham City Centre. The varied nature of the job, interacting with customers and working as part of a team are things I have really enjoyed. I learnt a lot from my time in retail. However, since getting involved in fundraising projects at University, it has been my desire to work in the third sector. I am really excited to start this graduate programme and begin a career supporting charitable causes. Prior to discovering my passion for fundraising at University, I was keen to work in education – a career in advancement seems a perfect combination for my interests! 

Outside of studying and work, my main interests are music, sports, history & culture. I love discovering music and in recent years I have started DJing at bar events and nightclubs. At University, myself, and some friends with a shared love for electronic music organised a series of events to fundraise for various charities including Love Music Hate Racism and Let’s Feed Brum, a charity focused on providing food for homeless community in Birmingham. I found helping in the organisation and performing at these events very fulfilling and it is definitely something I would like to continue in Bristol. It was during these events when I first realised my passion for fundraising, I can’t wait to start the training programme and expand my fundraising experience further.

I recently graduated from the University of Kent, completing a joint honours degree in History and Classics.

My interest in fundraising originates from a month-long expedition to Madagascar. In preparation for this trip, I fundraised within my local community to raise funds to support charitable organisations within the country. My drive to help people stemmed from my university experiences during the pandemic, experiencing first-hand how difficult this time can be for students. Both aspects have inspired me to work in the charity sector, in hopes of better serving the community.

I can’t wait to get started in LSE’s program helping to raise funds for amazing projects such as their Shaping the World Campaign. I am also excited to develop my professional skillset through CASE’s graduate programme.

I grew up on a lovely part of the Jurassic Coast, UK, and graduated from the University of Surrey with a Master of Mathematics (M.Math) in 2021, which is where I found fundraising – I got involved with a couple of local charities and student society campaigns, and discovered that I loved talking to the public about supporting an important cause. I did lots of volunteering whilst travelling during and after university and learned that fundraising was something that I really enjoyed. I completed the CASE Graduate Trainee Programme at Cardiff University in 2022/23 and now work as an Advancement Coordinator at the University of Surrey.

Outside of my work, I enjoy playing netball (absolutely not with any professional skill), spending time with my growing clan of nephews, and volunteering for a young people's eating disorder charity, a cause that’s close to my heart.
