Work
EducationAbout meI’m an award-winning journalist and editor. I am studying MA Print Journalism at the University of Sheffield will hold a full-set of NCTJ qualifications by the time my course ends in July 2016. I graduated with a first class honours in Journalism Studies from Cardiff University in 2015.
I’m currently seeking work experience and shift work to un-dertake alongside my studies.
I have secured bylines with the Telegraph, the Spectator, the Independent and other national and international publications. In addition, I’ve undertaken a wide range of placements with organisations such as the BBC, The Guardian, and The Mail on Sunday. This experience is coupled with a broad skillset and strong academic record.
I’m comfortable working on stories from pitch to publica-tion, in both team and self-led environments. I can bring your organisation flair, rigor and strong copy, as well as a litany of multimedia skills to help you produce the best content for the widest possible audience.
