About me
I am a confident, energetic Music Journalist. I have recently graduated from the University of Huddersfield in my chosen field of Music Journalism with a First Class Honours. I have a practical experience in the styles and techniques of journalistic writing, from the printed page to online digital articles, video journalism and reporting for multiplatform new media. I love to travel and have spent a gap year volunteering in Africa allowing me to make a real difference improving lives of rural communities .
