About

A quick introduction — the story behind the work.

Motivated and creative university student at the University of Buckingham. My degree has given me practical experience across podcasting, graphic design, online media, magazines, digital editorial, social media, photography, advertising, public relations and marketing.

I have developed strong skills in filming, video editing, content creation, writing and digital communication. Alongside my studies, I have built strong communication, organisational and interpersonal skills through employment in fast-paced, customer-facing environments.

I am confident working independently and collaboratively, with a particular interest in media, digital content, marketing and communications.
