About me

I have recently completed an MA in Civilisation, Terrorism and Dissent (University of Hull, Sept 2012). I am also a journalism graduate, graduating from Sheffield Hallam (2011) with a 2:1.

I am currently seeking employment in a creative, media and communications job. I would ideally like a job which allows me to employ my writing skills and online networking skills to benefit both myself and the company I have an opportunity to work for.
