On my very first day as a volunteer communications assistant, I thought I'd say hi to you all and tell you a little bit about myself. So, hello there, my name is Kinga and I have just started volunteering in this beautiful palace. As for my background, learning has always been my passion, hence I have spent the last few years in education, earning a History BA, then a Masters in Early Modern History from King's College London and an MA in Curating and Collections from Chelsea College of Arts. History being my main love in life, I have always looked for an opportunity to be part of a Heritage site. I used to volunteer for Historic Royal Palaces, mainly in the Tower of London, where I currently have a part-time job, and Hampton Court Palace. As a recent graduate, I was happy to come across this opportunity at Fulham Palace, yet another jewel in London, to learn more about its past and be part of its present and future with you. I will be updating the blog on the volunteer portal, and though I have some ideas, it would be lovely to hear what you would be interested to find out more about, so we can explore the History of Fulham Palace together. Please do comment below with any areas you would like to me and the team to research and write blogs about! Looking forward to hearing from you!
