Luke Chalinor

I am a hardworking person who works well within a team but also has the initiative to work well autonomously. I am enthusiastic and give 100% in everything I do and perform all tasks to the best of my ability. I have excellent communication skills; I am a forward thinker, reliable and punctual. I have a tenacious attitude and embrace the opportunity to learn new skills and develop.

I enjoy playing football and have represented both Marine and Bootle FC, captaining Bootle on several occasions. Alongside playing, I have written match reports for Marine academy fixtures and ran the social media for Marine's first team on matchdays, posting regular updates and creating graphics for fans. This has strengthened my analytical and writing skills, which I continue to develop through my Sports Journalism studies at university, where I explore media law, ethical reporting, interviewing techniques, and digital storytelling. I also conducted pre and post‑match player interviews at the MIC Cup 2023 in Spain and regularly analyse match footage to identify key moments that improve the quality of my articles. Beyond football, I have interviewed local boxers about upcoming fights and the classes they run for beginners, broadening my experience across different sports.
