High School (6th form)

2017-2020

Secondary School: Where It All Began

My journey into media, communication, and public-facing work started in secondary school. At 14, I launched and managed the school’s online TV channel. I produced and edited YouTube videos, filmed interviews, created promotional campaigns, and updated the school website. I represented the school at open days and helped shape its public image through both print and digital media. We even won several student media awards, which gave me early insight into what makes communication resonate.

I also volunteered in the school library, where I developed core customer service skills, supported merchandising tasks, and learned how to create a welcoming, organised space. These experiences taught me how to connect with people, take initiative, and handle responsibilities with care.

High School: From Curiosity to Direction

In high school, I expanded on those early interests and began sharpening my focus. I pursued new opportunities in leadership, languages, and professional development. I ran a campaign for the Student Union’s Website Officer role, which unexpectedly led to me being elected Head of the Student Union because of the strength and creativity of my campaign strategy. This taught me the power of vision, authenticity, and bold communication.

I also completed several internships and academies with ATOS, where I trained in hardware, software, Excel, cloud tools, and CRM systems. I received official certifications in both English and German, and participated in a school exchange in Germany, further strengthening my communication skills and cultural awareness. At the same time, I earned my driving licence and spent summers attending creative camps across Europe.

What I Learned

  • How to communicate clearly and strategically across different platforms and to diverse audiences

This early period of my life gave me the foundation I still draw from today. It taught me that creativity and communication aren’t separate from structure and strategy — they fuel each other. It’s where I learned to think big, stay organised, and bring ideas to life in a way that people can feel.
