About me

I am 24 and from North Wales. I am (BA) Journalism graduate and after University I went on to study magazine Journalism, gaining a post-grad diploma, my NCTJ news and shorthand.

Since leaving University I have carried out several placements: at the BBC Bangor, local papers, the Press Association in London, Start your own Business magazine, Wanderlust magazine and late last year I went to the digital department at the Press Association in Howden, where I spent a lot of time with the tailored news desk, writing for clients on a range of different subjects. I've also had some experience in presenting and I am a member of Spotlight under: New presenters/Emerging talent.

I would describe myself as passionate about writing as well as designing, planning, and coming up with Ideas. After work experience at the Press Association I have ambitions to pursue a Journalism career across a range of multi-media platforms or within production. In addition, I am interested in the creative side of the media. I am computer literate and have a good knowledge in programmes such as Adobe in design CS2, Quark Xpress, Illustrator, Photoshop and I have used CMS at a basic level. I have my own travel website and digital magazine aimed at young people (*).

I am a follower of news, celebrities, beauty and have a huge passion for travel. My Dad has travel all over the world with his job. Hearing his past adventures has cursed me with an insatiable yen for the unknown, which I love discovering and then writing about in my work. In October this year I travelled to San Francisco, Las Vegas (including the Grand Canyon) and Los Angeles. I've also been to Orlando, Miami, Turkey (twice), Portugal, Spain, Lanzarote, Paris and all over the U.K.

Films like the ‘Devil wears Prada' and the series ‘Ugly Betty' excite me, not because of that element of rubbing shoulders with celebrities, but that fascination with the pace of life connected with journalism, meeting deadlines and finding a passion in words.
