Summary
Sports can be brutal. I learned this from a young age after a poorly timed rugby tackle sent me bruised and bloody straight to A&E. Whilst my nose was broken, my spirit was not. Two weeks later I was back on the ball and charging head first into contact.
That grit and passion is what captures the attention of adoring fans like myself and is what inspired me to pursue a career in Sports Journalism.
I am now a third year university student studying sports journalism at Solent University looking to add to life experience and provide a service within a working environment. I hold a keen interest in motorsports and media production. Where I have engaged audiences through impactful writing and innovative content creation.
