About me

I have recently completed a masters in Publishing where I worked on digital, audio and print projects in editorial, production, marketing, UX and design. I co-edit a zine along with two collaborators, have three years experience working in Publishing Copyright Licensing, as well as fundraising experience working for a charity. I have administrative, collaboration and project management skills, and am looking to gain some professional editorial experience. I am especially interested in social issues, food and travel.
