After graduating, I participated in a internship in London Metropolitan University's press office. Here, I was able to put the skills I learnt throughout my degree into practice in a working environment.
• Played a major role in the implementation of a PR campaign, sourcing successful alumni and writing 20+ profile pieces, which were displayed as advertorials in the Metro, the Guardian and the London Evening Standard. I also secured logos from major companies to promote the scheme via a banner design.
• Liaised with academics to source valuable and original stories which promote the university’s ethos, courses, facilities and lecturers.
• Covered university-based events for press releases and news stories. I recently covered a major political summit, receiving great praise from my line manager for my press release and news story.

• Sourced internal and external stories and manipulated code for the student newsletter using Adobe Dreamweaver and HTML. I also made the newsletter appeal more to a student audience by using gifs and emoticons.
