I discover people's stories and how they connect with the events of today. News is what affects people and through my love of speaking to strangers, I uncover stories. This has worked up to journalism. I love going out finding news and creating something to communicate it on a wider level either through my own voice on radio, TV or in an article. This also works into my passion for creating a voice through social media and letting it be heard.
I have achieved this through my degree developing key skills in media production, mastering adobe photoshop/audition/premiere pro, and research skills with industry standards and news values always in mind. I am currently volunteering at Tudor House and Garden and will be creating social media content to promote the museum.
I am currently based in Southampton but I want to anywhere and everywhere with my career. My aspirations are to finish my bachelor's degree which will be in May 2022 and gain more work experience so that I can dive headfirst into Journalism.

- Tudor House and Garden TikTokToday the first posts from the new Tudor House and Garden TikTok page have gone public. In my volunteering at Tudor house, I have been working on this project to showcase the museum with fun and informative videos. TikTok is the social media platform for young people and allows creators to make content like no other social media platform before. After seeing so many brands move to the platform and using memes to content with audiences I thought of how this could be applied in Tudor house. Foll
