PROFILE
I´m currently a university undergraduate studying sports journalism, which is a great stepping-stone into the media industry. I have just over a years experience in journalistic practice, working in radio, print and with video. My degree has enabled me to converse well with the public, totally at ease. Alongside being able to work individually on media tasks, I am comfortable as part of a bigger media team, regularly being assigned different roles in a news day set-up.
As the university football captain, I know how to take on responsibility and fully commit to every task. I thoroughly enjoy working hard, with the aim of pleasing people and target audiences. Hence why I want a job within the media industry.
