About me
I have recently graduated from the University of East Anglia with first class honours in their renowned English Literature and Creative Writing Degree. I am now keen to channel my writing skills into a creative career. I have just finished interning as a Media Liaison with a Radio PR agency and have completed past experience with magazines and a TV production company. All of this has equipped me with a strong work ethic and a wide range of skills that I look forward to applying to a creative role that challenges and enthuses me.
