Professional History
Over the last few years, I have tried to further my journalistic career by getting experience in different fields of the industry and carry on my learning through studying Multimedia Journalism at the University of Salford.
The University of Salford
September 2015 - July 2018
During my time at the University of Salford I have applied myself to my course in many ways. In my first two years at the university, I took it upon myself to write for Quays News and co-presented a radio show on Shock Radio.
In my third year at university, alongside my studies, I was President of a society which has strengthened my skills of time-management.
Alongside being in charge of a society, I have been able to build up my journalistic portfolio during newsdays. One thing that I am pleased to show, is my rebranding of the third year newspaper, now called 'Salford Now'.
During my studies I have also had experience working in journalism. In 2017, I joined the News team at The Liverpool Echo for a week in July and a week in November and also the team at BBC Newsround for two weeks. Here I managed to further my journalistic skills of writing for online and researching.
