Summary

I am currently pursuing a degree in Fine Art at Goldsmiths University, where my creative focus revolves around the exploration of folklore and myth. I am particularly drawn to objects and themes that possess a romantically grotesque quality. My interests extend to film, anthropology, ecology, and feminism, which serve as central topics for my written and creative work, explored through the prism of myth and storytelling. Through my prior professional experience, I have discovered a passion for collaborative work, engaging with individuals, overseeing projects, and doing anything where I can be on my feet getting my hands dirty.
