Description

Hi! I am currently a fine art student studying in London! I am also learning photography and working as a social media assistant. I am really creative, I love making art and working on projects. I love working in a team and seeing a project through to the finish line brings me joy!

A huge passion of mine is horse riding. I have been riding since I was 10 and would spend all my weekends and holidays helping out at my local yard. When I was 19 I had the most amazing experience working as a horse riding instructor in America at a summer camp for 2 and a half months. I learnt so much, had the best time taking care of horses, riding and helping children who had never ridden before gain confidence! Being around horses brings me true happiness!!

In 2018 I worked on a Summer Camp in upstate New York as a tennis instructor and hiking trip leader. I ran daily tennis lessons and was also lucky enough to go out on hiking trips across the Adirondack mountain range. One of the trips I went on lasted 5 days and included 7 high peak mountains and 40km of backpacking! Even though it was tiring, It was the most incredible trip. We saw beautiful views and it was a huge moment of self belief for me that you can do anything you put your mind to!

In 2019 I went back to the same camp and asked to join the horse riding team! The wonderful lady, Kate, who runs the camp is an incredible horse rider and is a super inspiring person who I really look up to. During our training days she taught me about leadership, managing / organising the stables and we rode the horses that had just come off of the ranch. After this time, I was actually made head of the riding stables and had the job of leading a team of riding instructors and taking care of 9 horses! I had a lot of help from Kate and after a short amount of time, me and the staff got into a routine and everyone knew their jobs. It was the most epic summer!

In 2021 I took a year out of my Fine Art degree and started a placement year at a PR and social media agency that specialises in the hospitality sector. I have been learning how to manage social media accounts for different restaurant businesses, take part creative projects such as competitions and collaborations, and I have been helping out my boss with photoshoots. I have a real interest for photography and am practicing food photography regularly to improve.

I am returning to uni for my Final year in September and am looking for an exciting opportunity to get stuck into this summer! Anything do to with horses or art or creativity would be incredible!

What else ...

Recently I have also discovered a love for the sea and river swimming. Last summer I had some windsurfing lessons and have got pretty good at it! I have also been trying out surfing and would like to go on a course to learn!

I am quite a competitive person when it comes to boardgames! Me and my family have endless games of Canasta. It is a fantastic card game where you have two packs of cards and must collect 7 of the same to make a Canasta!
