Charlie's work

About Charlie

I graduated with a First in Journalism & Media Production from Solent University as of 2020, while at University I've gained experience through different avenues; while using connections, organisation and creativity, I hope to increase my experience and further develop my initiatives moving forward. I already have a high amount of writing and illustration experience while writing for brands such as ​Voir Mag​, as well as creating my own blog, ​Land of Credo​. When it comes to managing, creating and organising​Music Events, I have a background within that as I've created my own Music Industry Event, The Network - Southampton​, that aims at inspiring passionate music heads.

While pursuing my Bachelor's Degree in Music Journalism at Solent University, I have accomplished:

● Increased my understanding of industry-standard programmes including Adobe Audition, Online CMS, Adobe Photoshop, ​Microsoft Excel, Word, Publisher, Powerpoint​, InDesign, Adobe Premiere Pro​ and ​Final Cut Pro.

● Process of creating and coding websites.

● Experience with writing press releases, news, opinion pieces, covering

interviews and profile pieces/features.

● Experience with handling Social Media for businesses

● Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

● Very strong organisation and prioritisation skills.

● Experience of logging, tracking and reporting information.

● Skills in the comparative analysis of critical readings drawn from music

industries texts and broader cultural theories.

As well as taking the role of the University Course Representative, I have developed a significant amount of leadership skills, as the role involves:

● Consulting with students for feedback

● Identifying any issues they are facing

● Raising feedback to the university

● Be visible and contactable to students

● Attending at least 6 key meetings throughout the year
