A three-week PR internship, after being asked to extend my internship following the initial two weeks due to excellent feedback. I was responsible for writing copy, such as for the Grant Thornton 'Faces of a Vibrant Economy' campaign. I also edited and wrote various opinion editorials, including for Russ Shaw of Tech London Advocates, on the BBC Micro:Bit campaign and on the new Computing GCSE. I was placed in charge of managing social media accounts, such as Vonage's twitter account, as well as researching the social media profiles of various companies and individuals.

Since my third term of my first year, I have been a columnist for Varsity, Cambridge University's student-run newspaper. I publish regular articles, mainly those which link in with my interest in politics, which have been some of the most read this year.

Responsible for planning and executing the social events for the students of the college. My biggest responsibility is the bi-annual ent 'Fitz Up Look Sharp', which includes: organising music, food and drink; promoting the event on social media and around the university; and working as part of a team to execute the event and ensure that it runs smoothly. Our last ent was a huge success, as we managed to sell out completely. As a team, we plan both the freshers and 're-freshers' week, organising everything from bar crawls and club nights, to welfare events and ice-breakers to cater for non-drinkers. Other responsibilities include organising formals and 'bops' (college parties). I also have a wider role as part of the JCR, which involves attending weekly meetings and discussing issues that have been raised in college.

Helping to organise and promote Cath Kidston events, including a vintage tea party and a student-lock in, along with general brand promotion.

A month's work experience assisting the PR team. I helped prepare for a chemistry meeting, was responsible for doing background research on brands and campaigns and did general admin work. Provided me with an insight into the marketing and advertising industry, and a range of skills including the use of tools such as Ebiquity.

Kurobuta is a Contemporary Japanese Izakaya, the latest project from Scott Hallsworth, former Nobu London and Melbourne Head Chef. Kurobuta brings the contemporized, bold, zesty flavours with and edge of high end Japanese to the Izakaya world. The concept being to create a social gathering place where friends can meet to drink ice cold beers, sake and shochu whilst sharing small plates of food ranging from tempura to sushi and robata BBQ. The second site has just opened in Marble Arch to join the pre-existing pop-up on the Kings Road, Chelsea.
