I'm an architecture graduate from Magdalene College, Cambridge in Unit 2 for studio design: the social and the everyday. I took IGCSEs and the IB, receiving 8 A*s and 41 points respectively.      I graduated High School with the Highest Academic Achievement Award, and received High Honours throughout my 4 years in High School. I also received an Academic Merit Scholarship for half tuition.     Fun fact: I didn't study art for 2 years before coming to Cambridge!     Feel free to contact me for any advice on personal statements, portfolio preparation or reviews, and interviews. I'd love to help you out!

            During my interview preparation classes, I prepare students for the two academic and subject interviews. Images and articles are used to provoke discussions, and I offer advice on how to tackle tricky questions, whether they'd be about design, structures or history and theory, and how to answer them with confidence.     I also offer portfolio reviews to help students structure their portfolios in a logical manner and prepare a portfolio that can truly demonstrate their qualities and talents. I also offer advice on answering questions regarding your portfolio work, design experience and things you mentioned in your personal statement.      Having written 9 drafts for my personal statement, I fully understand the process of refining and condensing your personal statement that not only exhibits all your qualities and interests, but also feels genuine and truthful. I can offer you advice on writing these entry tickets for interviews.

            I have tutored in Maths at College du Leman for the National Honor Society for two years.   I was also a volunteer English tutor in Zambia for a summer.   I was on the Alumni Panel for my school and still continue to offer advice on anything Oxbridge related.

            I take part in the student-run society ArcSoc for Talks, Shop and Socials, and I also set design for TEDxCambridgeUniversity. I'm a staff illustrator for the university publication - The Cambridge Student, and I was an Editor for CUIMUN 2017.
