Work experience:
2020:- Personal Projects
During the pandemic I started an instagram project named @postcardsfrompandemics which collected submissions of postcards from people worldwide based on their time in quarantine. This helped to shed light on how people have been responding to the Covid-19 crisis. Running this page has involved communicating with brands/magazines/artists/museums, using photoshop, artistic abilities (as some of the postcards I made myself) and photoshop.
Since the page has grown I have also worked with local youth centres, such as Leaders in Community in Poplar and Project Indigo Hackney, to run workshops in which the children made their own postcards to be posted on the page, giving a voice to young people. This involved planning, setting up and running several workshops with groups of children from the ages of 11-15.
2020:- Volunteer Work
Duties: Throughout the pandemic I began volunteering at various food banks in my local area including The Phoenix project and Women’s Inclusive Team in Bethnal Green. During this time I helped coordinate and deliver food both to other food banks and to families using drivers or by cycling myself. I also helped with packaging and organising deliveries we received.
2018-2020: Agency Work/Bar work
Duties: I have worked for a number of different agencies within London including Brightspark, Syft, Apex solutions, Temptribe and Creative at venues such as the Twickenham Stadium, Hyde Park festival and the O2. I have had the opportunity to work at both normal and VIP events which has subsequently taught me invaluable hospitality, catering and customer service skills. Through my work at VIP events I have also learnt how to build a rapport with customers and event organisers in order to offer a more high end experience.
2019-: Volunteer Work
Duties: Recently I have volunteered at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester weekly. My duties in this job role include object handling and coordinating museum tours which requires me to be well informed and interact regularly with members of the public. This work falls in line with my interest in science communication.
2017: Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Plant. Sandwich, Kent.
Duties: This was a two-week work program in which I shadowed a chemist as a lab assistant. I took part in laboratory experiments, handling measurements as well as drug screening machinery.
2017: A+C Animation Studios. Margate, Kent.
Duties: I undertook a multitude of tasks, both self-directed and under the instruction of the Office Manager. These included helping out with set, costume and moodboard design for animations created for clients including Trivago and Lego giving me the opportunity to showcase my creativity. I was in charge of the correspondence with both companies in order to relay our ideas for either animation, and fielded general office enquiries by telephone, email and face to face. I also helped out around the office with general administration and setting up several of their new office spaces.
2017 -2018: Discovery Planet Events company, Ramsgate, Kent.
Duties: I assisted in the organisation, running and set-up of several science-based events. During these events I helped the general public with enquiries, whilst also running some of the workshops aimed at all age groups alongside scientists from the Royal Society of Chemistry. To aid in these workshops I had to be well informed on the scientific content (ie.- polymers) and able to liaise with the public in order to create a fun and enjoyable experience.
