My Master's Degree in Early Modern Literature and Culture has given me a keen interest in the preservation and promotion of historic cultural material. As a result of my workplace experiences to date I am able to work effectively in both a team structure and work equally as well alone when appropriate. I have a range of experience working with varied groups of people having been involved in community projects and this has provided me with an understanding of equality and diversity issues. Through extra-curricular activities I have developed a wide range of organisational and leadership skills, as well as honing my ability to communicate and to coordinate events and teams. My Master's Degree has ensured I have excellent research and writing skills as well as providing me with experience in communicating complex ideas verbally through presentations, or in writing. My aim is to enter into a profession that allows for creative thinking and problem solving where I can utilise the experiences and knowledge I have equipped myself with to date, with a view to continuing professional and personal development in the education and heritage sector.
