About me

Masters student of Hispanic & Comparative Literature at the University of Kent, looking for work in music journalism, events, marketing and PR. I have extensive volunteer experience in all of the above, through Canterbury's FM-licensed radio station CSR FM, and would love nothing more than to have the opportunity to pursuit this kind of work as a career. On a side note, I have been an active musician collaboratively, in bands and as a solo artist for many years, so any opportunity in that respect would be a no-brainer.
