I'm delighted to share that I have graduated from Durham University with a First Class Honours degree in History. My time at Durham has been life-changing. I've learnt so much from my course, professors, fellow students and friends, and wider university community. I'd especially like to thank my special subject and dissertation tutor, David Minto, and other colleagues of the Department of History Durham University. I was also pleased to celebrate my completion of the Laidlaw Foundation Scholarship. The scholarship has been paramount to my experience at university and development as a student and someone aspiring to work in policy. A particular shout out to Chantelle Cumming, Kelci Jacoby, The Kasiisi Project and Prof Arlene H. for their pivotal role in my progress as a scholar. From the support from South College to the community I've found at South College Boat Club, the university will always have a special place in my heart. It is with heavy heart I move on, but look forward to continuing my academic journey at the LSE Department of Government. To all my friends and colleagues at Durham, please do stay in touch 😊
