London born and raised, I am a young adult with 18 months professional experience in the recruitment industry, specialising in hiring for AI and Technology companies. This lead me to start interviewing founders and thought leaders in this space for a blog series.
On top of this I have a BA in English from the University of Southampton. Where I worked on opinion pieces for the student newspaper, Wessex Scene, along with producing essays on a wide variety of topics. Some of which included; African Literature, Science Fiction, Poetry, Dystopia and the Literary Theory of high profile thinkers.
I currently pursuing a MSc in Digital Anthropology at University College London researching and writing about the consequences of digital technologies on society.
In my spare time I work on my creative writing, some of which you can find on this website. I aim to have published my first novel by the end of the decade.
Outside my creative pursuits I enjoy bouldering and find the sport does a lot to improve ones focus and problem solving skills.
I also consider myself to be an amateur photographer, documenting my travels on an old film camera. My favourite type of pictures to take are of wildlife & nature, historical monuments and cityscapes.
