About me
I'm an asker of questions and unbearably nosey!
For four years, I've been channelling my curiosity into my BA Media and Journalism and MA Journalism (Specialist Features) studies at UWE, Bristol. My specialist areas are feature writing, digital communications management, project management, creative problem-solving and digital content creation.
Unlike my artist parents, my creativity has never manifested as sculptures or paintings. Instead, I've chosen to write. I believe when you write with passion and the right intentions it is in itself an art form.

- Alex Crowther (Senior Reporter and Community Manager at The HR World)
"She is a true force of nature and an advocate of ‘telling it, how it is’. She is a 'people person' and is interested in learning more about how society works or rather doesn’t! She is brave, resilient and hard working. She has an excellent work ethic and takes great satisfaction in doing a job well. She is a consummate communicator."
- Lisa Richardson-Humphrey (MA Illustration Lecturer at the Arts University Bournemouth)
