Working efficiently within a large team to provide exceptional customer service and a safe environment for guests at the current production of ‘A Christmas Carol’. Responsibilities include checking tickets, ushering, merchandise sales and security.

As president, I chaired weekly meetings for our diverse 21-member committee with varying skills and experience, assigning relevant tasks to ensure the smooth operation of the society, which boasts over 300 paid members and is open to the entire student body and members of the public. My year as president saw us double our average yearly takings. I oversaw the entirety of the society and dedicated hours each day to the administration involved in running such a large student organisation. This included managing our weekly life drawing classes, which saw a massive increase in popularity with my introduction of live students bands performing during the class. Life drawing was most often at full capacity, with over one hundred student artists a week in attendance. I also continued to oversee our weekly specialist workshops and social events, aiming to provide varied and exciting opportunities for our student artists. Sourcing locations was a consistent challenge in a town without dedicated art-making spaces, but we consistently increased our venue size where possible as our society gained popularity and social media presence. I endeavoured to ensure that the society was accessible to students of all artistic levels across mediums, and I supported my fellow committee members as they gained confidence running their own classes.

As Vice-President, I worked closely with our president and treasurer and the rest of the committee to ensure the smooth running of the ever-growing society. The year was a great success and saw an increase in our social media following and continued financial success for the society. We brought back our annual residential 'creative retreat', which had been on hiatus since Covid. This involved extensive organisation and planning in advance, but was very well received, ensuring its continuation. I assisted with our semesterly exhibitions, and continued to teach and oversee our weekly workshops and events.

As Events Coordinator, I had the responsibility of planning and executing weekly workshops, social events and large exhibitions for the society. It was quite the task to balance the admin involved with my university work, however it was very rewarding to work with an enthusiastic committee and interact with both undergraduate and postgraduate student artists and members of the community. I ensured that events were booked well in advance, and I sourced specialist teachers where necessary to ensure the highest quality technical classes. We collaborated with organisations external to the university to ensure resources were made available to student artists where they were not immediately available in town. I also taught workshops myself, and have received very positive feedback for the quality of the events I have overseen.

Over the summer months of the last few years, I have taken on work experience involving organising and cataloguing items in the museum's extensive archives. I have assisted the Head of Collections in archiving newly acquired items, and re-archiving previous collections on an updated database. I have handled and organised the museum's collections of architectural, agricultural and domestic pieces from varying time periods, with a primary focus on war time Britain. This involved researching objects with unknown provenance to ascertain their age, function and significance etc. I also assisted with events held at the museum and the day to day running of the site.
