I'm a freelance journalist currently splitting my time between Bristol and London. I have a gnack for finding different angles to stories and also finding stories in unlikely places, which I hope my portfolio demonstrates.

I am a recent graduate from the University of the Arts London where I graduated with a First Class Honours in Journalism.

Oct 2016 - May 2016London, United KingdomInternship
As a sub-editor for the Artefact website I was required to prep fellow writers work before they could be passed on to the editor. We had many writers who have English as either a second or third language so this required me to spend a lot of time making sure everything was correct and the authors style of writing was not compromised.
