MA (Hons) Russian Studies and Spanish:
First Class with Distinction in Spoken Russian
and Spoken Spanish
University of Edinburgh
2019 - 2022
During my time at university, I learned the intricacies of effective communication in multiple languages. I was also able to hone my creative abilities and develop excellent research and analytical skills. I achieved consistent top grades despite the unprecedented circumstances of the pandemic.
​
I showed dedication and resilience by travelling independently to Russia, Ukraine and Spain after all year-abroad programmes were cancelled due to COVID. This included working in a school in Catalunya, and living in the Crimea while researching for my dissertation. I also spent 6 months outside of term time in Shanghai learning Mandarin. All of these experiences improved my language skills and educated me on each countries' people, cultures and current affairs.
