Summary

I am a recent First-Class Linguistics and Spanish graduate from the University of Leeds, with a longstanding connection to Spanish and a strong interest in film, television, media and popular culture. Having grown up in Spain as a child and later spent a year studying and living in Madrid, I have developed a strong understanding of Spanish language and culture alongside in-depth academic study in translation, film and literature. I am now looking to apply my bilingual communication, writing and organisational skills within the entertainment industry, gaining practical experience in press, digital communications, content and publicity. I am also an Irish citizen and am therefore eligible to work in Spain.
