Jan 2020 - Present
I am the Founder and Managing Director of Earthian Zero Waste Shop. We run our small business on Parchment Street, in Winchester. The shop provides a wide variety of dried food, herbs, spices, coffee and cooking oils that customers can buy by weight. They can bring their own containers to refill endlessly without producing any unnecessary single-use packaging. We aim to be Winchester’s hub for ethical and environmentally friendly produce and activities. Customers can come into our shop and feel confident when they buy from us that we've done the leg-work and the product they pick up is earth friendly and ethically produced. We also have ambitious benchmarks we are aiming towards, such as being accredited as a 'zero to landfill' business, reaching Net Zero and being accredited as a B-Corp, cementing that we are ethical and socially responsible in all our practices.

While studying at the University Of Chichester I was employed by the Students' Union on a short term contract as a Marketing Intern. I worked with the Business Development Manager in the preparation for Freshers events. The main focus for the internship was the Freshers Fayre which involved seeking out and negotiating with local businesses to attend the Fayre to promote to students.

I was also involved in producing images to be used on social media and the website, I gained basic skills in InDesign and Photoshop as part of my training for this role. I wrote for and monitored the social media streams for the Union on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using Hootsuite software and wrote a series of blog posts for the website. At the end of my internship I worked at the Freshers Fayre event both in a supervisory role monitoring the set up and clear down of the event, and by running a stall on behalf of the Union engaging with students to promote and sell NUS cards.

Apr 2010 - Oct 2010
I was very fortunate to be employed on a 6 month contract with the Weald and Downland Living Museum, after my contract ended I stayed on as a volunteer for a further 4 months. I learned a tremendous amount working here in my first full-time role since completing my A-Levels, gaining skills that I still use in my work today. As a Schools Assistant, I worked with children between the ages of 7 and 15 who were visiting the Museum on school trips. The role was interesting and varied as I was part of the process from beginning to end. I worked part of the week in the office helping to book in future trips and collate papers ahead of workshops. I would also work with the school on the day itself where I would greet the arriving children and deliver their workshops around the Museum. The areas which I specialised in were the Tudor and Victorian eras and topics that ranged from Textiles, Apothecary and Cooking.
