Despite having no experience as a fourth year, I鈥檓 that year鈥檚 representative for the History Society, so I鈥檓 going to be making up this job as I go along! I tend to pour the most attention over both my fields into Scandinavia, especially Sweden, but I like to study other parts of the world from time to time to keep myself rounded. Otherwise, in my free time, I fence, go on walks, travel, and I have a soft spot for languages. If you ever need something translated from Swedish into messy Polish, I鈥檓 your guy!
