Experience

I began my journalism journey as Co-Editor and Head of Social Media for We Are Vibe Barnsley, where I produced daily news content and wrote articles covering local issues. Since then, I have written, produced and edited three documentaries exploring real-world issues, giving me the opportunity to interview and work with a diverse range of people from around the world. I am now a second-year Journalism student at the University of Sheffield, where I am continuing to develop my passion for reporting. Alongside my studies, I am Social Media Manager for the Formula One Society and have written for Forge Press and ShefLive. I also work with the emerging charity HerSpace, creating social media content for an organisation dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for women.

Education

I studied Broadcast Journalism at Barnsley College, completing both my Level 3 Diploma and Extended Diploma in Creative Media: Broadcast Journalism. I am now entering my second year of Journalism Studies at the University of Sheffield, continuing to develop my skills and experience across journalism and broadcast media.
