MA HUMAN RIGHTS, UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX

After completing my bachelor's degree in Film and Media studies, I began a role within Education/ESOL. This gave me an insight into the challenges many students face when new to the country.

I primarily worked with asylum seekers, refugees, migrants and immigrants and this included people who were fleeing war torn countries, modern day slavery and persecution. My experiences affirmed an interest in human rights and the importance of our rights globally. In an effort to advocate for groups which may be deemed under-represented, I look forward to building on my knowledge of migration and those who seek asylum by studying a Masters in Human Rights.

The intention is to educate local communities and organisations to aid understanding of why people seek asylum in Britain today.
