About me

As a budding wordsmith with bags of ideas I am dedicated to pursuing a career that makes the most of my best bits.

Since graduating I've committed myself to gaining as much practical experience as I can get my hands on, and my most recent placement was a resounding success.

After proving myself I was offered a permanent position at the company and, when a pair of capable hands was needed at short notice, they turned to me to take the reins for one of the magazines. Being thrown in at the deep end meant there was a chance I would sink, but I kept myself afloat, and now when deadlines are looming you can count on me to stay cool.

The next step for me is to find an environment in which I can continue to develop and hone my skills.
