Summary

I am passionate about writing and improving as a writer. Having been involved in sport to a high-level my whole life, combining these two passions would be a dream come true.


I am experienced in working in teams, being a leader and I desire high-pressure and high-paced environments to achieve my full potential. I believe the BBC will offer just that.


Equally, I am thrilled by the developmental side of this role, as I am dedicated to honing my skills and I understand I have much to learn.
