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!
