Profile

Since leaving Swavesey Village College, I have attended Hills Road Sixth Form College and am now in my third year studying make-up for media and performance at Arts University Bournemouth.

I have just entered my third year at Arts University Bournemouth studying make-up for media and performance. This degree will make me a qualified makeup artist - a qualification which I will be able to use in order to get a job in film or theatre. As well as beauty makeup, we learn special effects, hair, wig making and prosthetics (which I am specialising in!).

Advice to students

Get involved in any way you can! I absolutely loved all the clubs that were offered, both sport and the arts. A highlight of Swavesey Village College was definitely taking part in the school production of Evita.
