I'm a 21 year old, tattooed, cat lover living in leafy South London. When my feline friend isn't curled up on my lap, I enjoy bargain hunting, reading (from feminist theory to erotica), going to the theatre and spontaneous crafting. I like late night baking and oftentimes find myself in the kitchen at 11pm making lemon drizzle cake or cinnamon cookies.
I just finished a BA in Media Culture and Journalism and enjoyed exploring my interest in cultural analysis; specifically the influence of popular culture on society, and representations of gender and sexuality in the media.
As a new PR, Marketing and Social Media Intern at CCK, I’m looking forward to developing my writing skills, thinking outside the box, and expanding my knowledge of PR tools in an interesting, unique environment. I’m passionate about equality and social justice and in the future would like to pursue a career which aims to improve people’s lives who have been discriminated against or marginalised from society. However I must admit I’ve always had a secret fantasy that one day I’ll miraculously win the lottery, and use the money to open a cat sanctuary somewhere in the countryside- we can all dream aye?
