Phycology (BSc)
Charity work

Some words about me:

Humans are naturally social beings and most of our lives revolve around communication. My passion lies in understanding the intricacies of communication and how it can be used to benefit a cause, a society or an individual. I have worked in the charity sector for over six years, helping to raise millions of pounds to support those in need. Communication is the main foundation on which charitable fundraising is built, from creating the concept within the organisation to recruiting and supporting participants.
As COVID-19 broke out in the UK, I developed mild symptoms and self-isolated for a week in my home in London. At the end of this period the nation was in lockdown. When I was offered the opportunity to write an article to help radiographers cope with self-isolation, I jumped at the chance to use my experience to help others. I believe that the importance of mental health is an area often underemphasised by society, but is key to living a happy life and is even more critical now.
