About me

I am a first-class graduate from the University of Manchester and a driven and creative journalist, specialising in showbiz writing. I've taken part in work experience at The Huffington Post and write regularly for girlsthatgig.com, whilst my experience working professionally with social media on both personal and larger scales has given me a real insight into the worlds of digital content creation. I am actively looking for opportunities in journalism, television production and social media based in London or Manchester.
