I am currently a student studying Textile Art, Design and Fashion BA (Hons) in Ulster University. I am specialising in embroidery and knit during my second-year studies. I am a textile artist incredibly interested in sustainability. I intend to pursue a career creating art with embroidery. I have developed a mass of skills whilst studying, both creative and transferable life skills. I have experience in hospitality and retail, both industries have developed my skills massively and boosted my confidence. I am outgoing and an excellent team player, I have experience working with and training people of all ages and abilities. I have worked in a range of environments and can easily adapt to many situations. As well as working I completed an internship in 2023 working with a local charity to create fashion looks for the MELA / Culture Clash in Belfast. I worked with teenagers from the ages of 14-18 from different cultural backgrounds. I was patient showing them different embroidery techniques and how to use a sewing machine as well as completing ice breakers to get to know the children. This experience was enlightening and improved my communication skills. It improved my flexibility and capability to work with people from all walks of life.
