(She/her) 2021 | Mphil in Classics at Cambridge University

I am a recent graduate of Lancaster University studying History and am beginning a Classics MPhil at Cambridge University in the autumn. My interest lies in the experience of women in Roman Britain, using an intersectional feminist approach.

I am a Student Panellist for the Office for Students, a role in which I am able to represent students in higher education, advising on policy and meeting with government ministers to influence the organisation. During my undergraduate degree, I was also the Students with Disabilities Officer for my Students’ Union, during which I ran a number of campaigns to fight for greater accessibility on campus.

The Snowdon Masters Scholarship has allowed me to attend Cambridge University for postgraduate study. After this, I would love to go onto further study, hopefully studying for a PhD and eventually going onto an academic career. I would like to thank the Snowdon Trust for the opportunity to undertake my MPhil.
