Profile
I am an art history student at St Andrews looking towards a career in the art world. I am particularly interested in collections interpretation and engaging children with art. At university, I have focused on colonial era art and consistently achieve top grades through diligent work and excellent written communication. I balance studying with my roles on several society committees, through which I have gained experience in managing a sizeable budget, co-ordinating teams to run events, and working independently.
I am currently available for short and part-time opportunities in the London area.

Internships and Fellowships
British Council Fellowship at the Venice Biennale 2024
This exciting role saw me split a month in Venice between representing the council in the British Pavilion and working independently on an art project linking the “intellectual invasion” of tourists and artists in Venice to similar phenomena in St Andrews where the university’s expansion often appears to come at a cost to the local community. The finished project will be on display in St Andrews next year and in the project book that myself and the other fellows are working on.
St Andrews Research Internship Scheme (STARIS)
Working with Dr Catherine Spencer and Dr Kate Cowcher, I developed the early stages of a dictionary of difficult terms to be used in teaching undergraduate art history in St Andrews. The resource gives nuanced definitions of complex terms and explanations of when and if they are appropriate to use, as well as guidance on the use of outdated or potentially offensive language.
Voluntary Work
Art History Class Representative (3rd Year Rep and Undergraduate EDI Rep)
I ran and was elected as the representative for my year in the school of Art History, working to close the feedback loop between staff and students. I was also co-opted as Equality Diversity and Inclusion representative and so sit on the EDI committee, where we worked towards Athena Swan accreditation for the department.
Deputy Section Editor: Arts and Culture – The Saint
I wrote for every issue of The Saint , the widely-read independent student newspaper, for two years. Focusing on fine art and architecture, I researched, planned, and wrote all my articles independently after presenting my ideas to a pitch meeting with the editors.
Reviews Editor – HASTA Magazine
I edited the Reviews section of the School of Art History magazine, HASTA, managing a small team and ensuring articles were edited and published on time. This required a more academic and researched style than The Saint but allowed me to take a deeper dive into subjects I am passionate about.
Secretary and Publicity Lead – St Andrews Beer Society
I was a founding member of St Andrews’ craft beer appreciation society. Starting a new society posed many unexpended challenges and we had to work to build up a following from nothing. I am especially proud of my design for the Beer Soc logo and social media presence, and our performance at the Freshers’ Fayre which made us the fastest growing new society in St Andrews.
Gallery MK, Milton Keynes
I volunteered in the Milton Keynes Art Gallery, invigilating on the exhibition, Boyd and Evans: High Time. This was an exciting opportunity to see how a gallery works from the inside and really get to grips with a small body of art in great detail.
Work Experience
Tutor – Amar’s Tuition (February-July 2025)
Tutored students in GCSE and A Level English and Politics, planning my lessons around students’ individual needs and adapting on the fly to students’ interests and weaknesses – including feedback from their schoolteachers.
Web Admin – Turtle Engineering (July 2023 – Present)
As part of a small but close-knit team I wear many hats at this local medical company. My part-time role initially focused on web editing but grew to incorporate content creation, photography, and a small amount of graphic design. You can see the finished website at www.turtledefibcabinets.co.uk
Warehouse Operative – Tesco Frozen (June-August 2022)
This challenging role saw me work 12-hour shifts in very adverse conditions (minus 22 degrees). I carried out my tasks diligently and efficiently, responding to feedback wherever necessary.
Instore Staff – Domino’s (November-December 2021)
Researcher – Profitlink Recruitment (June-August 2019)
This role saw me working independently to update a database of car dealerships and contacts for recruiters.
