About me
As my CV entails, I am a versatile Journalism graduate with a diverse resume of work experience thus far. I am a friendly, pro-active individual with passion for writing and the media, and i'm keen to forge a career as a copywriter. With strong skills in writing, researching, and my training in Journalism, I am able to adapt to different audiences, and I am keen to develop further within an exciting opportunity such as this.
In December, I completed an editorial internship at NOTJUSTALABEL, a digital fashion platform. I had a range of responsibilities in my role as editorial intern, including writing features, editing feature copy, proof-reading, producing social media content, and working closely with the E-commerce department. This experience provided me with extensive skills, introducing me to SEO and b2b content, broadening my interest in and understanding of fashion. I was encouraged to be organised and adaptable, meeting deadlines in a pressurised environment and writing to a consistently high standard, assets that would aid the role.
Further experience in media includes internships in both public relations and print. At A.I PR, I performed as a fashion PR Intern, with responsibilities such as media research and liaising with members of the press. This experience improved my communicative skills, as well as providing me with an insight of the inner-workings of a fast-paced PR & Marketing environment. In my role as features intern at InStyle magazine, I gained a valuable experience in print journalism. Daily, my responsibilities were to research for feature content, transcribe interviews, and to pitch, then write, short online stories.
In the meantime, my role as Costs Assistant at Freeths LLP has meant a step away from the industry I want to work in. While this is not ideal, I have remained engaged by keeping a tumblr blog for writing, and contributed articles to online platforms such as the 'Creative Quarter' and 'Tunes, Trends and Threads'. I am keen to move back into media and copywriting, making this opportunity one not to be missed. The idea of children's fashion poses and exciting challenge, and I believe I am up to it.
So finally, I hope that my skills and experiences, plus my pro-active, positive attitude, will be of interest.
