ABOUT
A Broadcast Journalism graduate with a passion for connecting with people.
I aspire towards building up a career in television, specifically focusing on the stories, customs and lifestyles of people from around the world.
I am open to any work that involves creating content, whether it is for radio, TV, online or social media channels, as well as any PR and marketing opportunities.
I love sourcing stories and interviewing people from different backgrounds, each with their own mission and purpose.
With topics ranging from a charity on a mission to make Nottingham's waterways more accessible, to the success of a Nottingham-born artist's plight to increase deaf awareness in her community, local stories lie at the heart of my work.
If you are interested in discussing potential work opportunities, please contact via the e-mail listed above.
TV
Filming and editing footage are my favourite aspects of content creation. Here are some of the TV packages I have created for regional broadcast, coupled with the links that I scripted to introduce them.

WORK EXPERIENCE
Jan - July 2023
Multimedia Journalist - Wempower
Wempower is an online organisation that aims to amplify the voices of women in the media, to create a better representation of gender issues.
Their values fit well with my own and the role granted me the chance to learn many new industry skills, and publish my own work on the company website.
In this role I was responsible for:
-
Sourcing and interviewing contributors to use in articles published on the website
-
Creating video content from interview footage to tease launch of new articles on social media accounts
-
Designing and writing weekly newsletters that fit the company’s ethos
It was also a wonderful chance to apply my skills in news production to a professional setting.
