"I chose Leeds Arts University for its exceptional facilities, like the ceramic labs and laser cutters, and its emphasis on interdisciplinary practices. The welcoming international team and strong creative community made it the ideal environment for me to explore my passion for materiality and storytelling through hand-making."

Her projects often combine traditional techniques with contemporary approaches, emphasising the use of diverse materials and work on creating multidisciplinary projects that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation.
"My time at Leeds Art University was transformative. The facilities, particularly the ceramics studio, laser cutters, and other tools, enabled me to experiment and refine my craft. Under the guidance of my mentor, whose guidance was invaluable, I explored multidisciplinary approaches and created a sort of set design inspired by nature for my final project. This included ceramic planters, resin coasters, ceramic jewellery, and silicone moulds. Displaying my work at the postgraduate show was a proud moment and a culmination of everything I learned at Leeds Arts University."
