Expertise

As Social Media Editor for the Lancaster Tab, I have enhanced my expertise in using social media as a journalistic tool to engage an audience.

  • I am proud to have been crowned Welsh national champion in the ESU-Churchill Public Speaking Competition in 2021-2022
  • I was a part of the renowned Storyhouse Women weekend in Chester. I was on a panel addressing what modern feminism looks like and discussing gender politics.
  • Following a successful and challenging campaign, I was elected Head Girl of my secondary school.

Experience

I founded my secondary school's newspaper and was later elected as Editor-in-Chief, giving be a strong foundation in the journalistic world. I also have a penchant for creative writing and I am currently studying a degree in English Literature with Creative Writing.

Education

I was awarded with three A*'s and one A at A-Level and I am now studying a degree in English Literature with Creative Writing at Lancaster University.
