Below is a brief summary of my educational past and what I'm currently learning.
Certificate in Horticulture with specialism in Organic Growing
In my spare time I am completing an online course to further my theoretical knowledge in horticulture especially using organic methods.
Web Development Bootcamp
I've taken a Udemy course on web development that covered:
- HTML
- CSS - including Bootstrap 4
- Javascript - including jQuery
RGB Guessing Game - this simple game was built to demonstrate an understanding of Javascript DOM manipulation, event listeners, and for loops. It allowed me to practice problem-solving through design of colours and placement, working through code issues, and exercising logical thinking.
Score Keeper - here I've practised using flexbox, altering the design of the input element buttons by using Javascript to simulate it's functionality, and learnt more about different browser and device capabilites.
University of Bristol
I gained a BSc Sociology with a qualification of upper second class (2:1). I focused on studying topics dealing with:
- Migration
- Race & Ethnicity
- Religion
- Gender
In my dissertation I studied the aspect of fear in the refugee journey from Myanmar to Malaysia by conducting semi-structured interviews with 9 refugees and a UNHCR representative. This allowed me to aquire the skills for conducting research on a sensitive topic and I feel great gratification for the refugees allowing me into very private moments in their life.
