Biography

Prior to my studies at university, I achieved the highest grade possible in the Edexcel IT Practitioner course as well as receiving the IT award at my sixth form 2 years in a row. During this course, I also received my ECDL certificate and created numerous websites with HTML and created web content using Adobe Suite.

Over the past year I have been studying for the Comptia A+ exam and as of April 2023 I am officially A+ certified.

I successfully created and ran a Facebook page/ YouTube channel in my spare time which gained over 100,000 likes. I created and edited video content as well as organised live streams for fans to view content.

I recently received a first in my dissertation about internet culture and the links between Facebook "memes" and racism as well as receiving a 2:1 overall in Psychology.
