Summary

Sports Journalism student at the University of Gloucestershire with experience across news reporting, podcasting, and writing feature articles. I have a proven ability to engage with elite athletes, notably interviewing and writing features on former England international Michael Owen and ATP doubles player Marcus Willis. I have reported from Premier League and elite football press boxes this season, publishing match reports to my WordPress portfolio on the final whistle. Alongside journalism, I have a strong background in acting, having played a lead role in a National Theatre Connections production at the Royal & Derngate. I am a creative, hard-working, and personable individual.
