My main focus in journalism is news, I enjoy working on FOI's and finding new scoops and different angles on stories for The Tab
This is my third year doing The Tab and my first year in an editorial role. I have written numerous news stories for the publication and began doing features. I also volunteer for Politics UK which is a predominantly student run national online publication focusing on political news coming out of the UK. I have only been doing this for a few months so far and have written up some weekly news roundups for their Patreon site and am hoping to get more involved throughout this academic year. I have also been doing work experience at The Times Scotland office in Glasgow since October 2024. Here I have been working on the Alba desk which focuses on Scottish features. I have had numerous articles published with The Times including regular contributions to their Table Scraps column and Cycle of the Week Column. Additionally I have had some full length features on topics ranging from film locations and shopping. I have also done a travel piece for The Times which was a great experience and allowed me to see a new side to journalism which I had previously not had experience in.
I am currently a final year student at Edinburgh University with a 2:1 grade average. I attended McLaren high school from 2016-2022 where I achieved AAAAA at higher level.
