Work history
    Writer
    I work for creative collective Crazy Animal Face as their Music Writer. I am responsible for a feature series named Worth noting... on the site. I write about the artists and record labels played in the Crazy Animal Face podcast, tying in a bit of background history, a few release highlights and why we love their music. I have covered the likes of Luaka Bop, Partyfine and Tuxedo. My role is also to interview these and other artists that we are listening to and to assist with the process of Crazy Animal Face becoming a record label in its own right.
    Editorial Assistant
     - 
    I interned at Square Up Media in London, publisher of five high-end publications including the UK’s biggest travel and food magazines. I worked primarily on their music and festivals website Festival Baby, updating content in the site’s festival database, writing news stories and posting on its social media feeds. Festival Baby’s house style is aimed at a young audience with a silly, light-hearted and flippant tone so I was required to adapt my writing style accordingly. I was also tasked with outreach duties such as obtaining prizes for Festival Baby competitions. I was successful in securing several prizes by researching and contacting a long list of PR agencies, identifying which might be suitable for the demographic and building relationships with the account managers over the phone.
