I attended Hungerhill School from 1999-2004. After Hungerhill I transferred to Danum School to study A-Levels in History, English Language, English Literature, and Politics. I went on to study History of Art at the University of York, achieving a 1:1 BA Hons degree in 2009.

I started work for a company in York, H&A Marketing Ltd, in September 2009 as an Assistant Production Manager. H&A Marketing is a designer, importer, and supplier of gifts and toiletries to the UK's major retailers. I worked hard and achieved several promotions with the company, and my role is now Director of Product Marketing.

My skills include product and brand development, commercial insight, customer/supplier negotiation skills, customer market research, communication and presentation, and experience of designing and developing gifts and toiletries for the bath and beauty category for major UK retailers.
