Summary

I am a recent history graduate with a interest in entering museum related roles. With over 5 years of customer service experience, I am well equipped to how to conduct myself professionally in work environments and on calls to customers. Currently studying a level 2 certificate in Understanding Data Protection and Data security. Studies in A Level: 'Democracy and Nazism: Germany 1918-1945' and 'The Cold War 1945-1991' and degree modules allowed further experience research further into the conflicts throughout the 20th century in Britain. The consequences of war have heavily impacted personal research and further contributed to my dissertation topic on the 'flapper girl' and how the first world war's shattering impact on gender expectations introduced a new era of femininity.

Photography

Studying photography at GSCE has made me fascinated with making and admiring photos, specifically street and documentary photography. I especially enjoy Kaveh Golestan works on the Iranian Revolution as well as his piece 'Spiritual Dance (The Qaderi Dervishes of Kurdistan, Zagros Mountain series) in 1990.
