Intern
- Marylebone, London W1A 1AA, UKInternship
In 2016 I was awarded an internship in BBC Radio 3 & 4’s Readings department – such internships are awarded to less than three percent of over one hundred thousand applicants every year.

My role involved a wide range of tasks, which included liaising with publishers, proof-reading and reviewing books for broadcast, writing newsletters, editing scripts, researching texts and authors and everyday tasks such as sorting post and organising schedules. I was even rewarded with a role as a foley artist in the recording of a BBC Radio 4 drama.
