"My role mainly entails working with Charles Saatchi on his books and newspaper columns, including researching topics and images, and contributing to their creative conception and design. I also use an advanced program to assist with and facilitate the curation of new exhibitions, and am involved in the running of other projects, such as the New Sensations Prize for art graduates.

My studies helped me to approach projects creatively and analytically, and I feel lucky to have been able to choose from the modules which were more diverse than other History of Art courses and to learn from the specialist tutors, a combination which I feel is very unique and special to Goldsmiths.

Since graduating, the research and open-mindedness I developed at university has definitely helped in my career, as I’m mainly researching and having to think creatively and quickly every day, although totally differently to essay writing.

Also being immersed in everything going on in New Cross, from the friends I made to opportunities to get involved with local art projects, prepared me for the busy and vibrant art world."
