Summary
Third year Sport Journalism student at the University of Brighton graduating in August 2025. Sport has been an integral part of my life since I was a child and over the years I have found my passion for reporting about a variety of sports. I have gained first experiences in the industry through several internships and freelance opportunities at Brighton & Hove Albion, Cologne Sharks, Football Park and RTL NFL.
