This follows her graduation from the University of Reading where she obtained a first in Art and English Literature, including a first on both her dissertation titled 'Re-remembering, Revisiting and Retelling Trauma in the Comics Form' and her artist studio practice, parts of which can be viewed at https://mahaliaconnor.wixsite.com/portfolio.During lockdown Mahalia started an online book club which has grown in size and has become an engaging environment for members to socialize in a relaxed way while challenging one another to think analytically. This was crucial throughout lockdown, particularly for those furloughed or unemployed, as it prevented its members from switching off and isolating themselves by providing goals and structure.Mahalia also supervises a small team in store at a Hobbs in Bristol. This often involves reporting and reacting to certain KPIs, visual merchandising, creating schedules and deployment rotas, and leading the team through both example on the sales floor and team management.Mahalia is looking to start a career with a creative brand or agency and is keen to gain experience in areas such as copywriting or visual design, having skills in both written and visual communications. Mahalia's creative experience is largely in 3D sculpture and installation with some digital elements created with Adobe Photoshop and Premier Pro, but would require further training with the Adobe Creative Suite for professional use.
