Expertise

My expertise is mostly in writing poetry and short stories. I am now branching out into journalistic writing too.

I am currently a writer and Features Editor for The Lincoln Tab and a Creative Writing student at the University of Lincoln. I also was a proof reader at a local publishing company in my mid-teens.
My most important achievement is getting into the University of Lincoln to study English and Creative writing and everything I have done whilst being here. I put in a lot of hard work and it's is paying off.
Writing and editing for the Tab is an important achievement for me because I am working in an amazing and collaborative team and working on my writing skills.

Experience

I carried out work experience at a local publishing company in my mid-teens which was a great achievement because I got to learn more about the industry I want to work in in the future.

Education

I am currently in my second year of studying English and Creative Writing at the University of Lincoln. At A Level, I studied Psychology, Sociology and English Literature and Language.
