Summary
I am a hard working university student, currently working towards an English Literature degree at the University of Exeter. I am very interested in working within the media and communications industry, and keen to gain work experience during my time as a student. I enjoy learning about all forms of media, such as books, films, music, radio and social media. During my time in sixth form, I was an editor of the school's magazine. I also have my own creative Instagram account where I produce graphics within my own free time (@livsribbons).
