About me

I am an intelligent and versatile graduate ready to begin an exciting and challenging career ideally in research or journalism. I studied History at undergraduate level and Medieval History at Masters level, this gave me advanced research, analytical and writing skills as well as a broad knowledge of many historical periods. I have recently spent three months traveling in South America and six months working as a SCUBA diver in Asia. The experiences, acquaintances and skills I gained during the time I spent traveling have given me the confidence, maturity and determination to succeed in the broadcasting industry. My work history to date has given me excellent communication and administration skills as well as experience working within a successful, multinational company. I am eager to begin an exciting and challenging career that will allow me to fully utilise all skills and knowledge I obtained throughout education and employment.
