News Experience:

I am a contributing writer for online news site leeds scribbler, writing weekly music previews and reviews. Click here for the website.

I have recently been part of the Sky News team during coverage of the royal wedding. I produced, filmed and edited a commissioned film on a tight deadline for one of their evening programmes.

I have five weeks experience in a Yorkshire based radio newsroom. I worked as a reporter, news editor and newsreader for Bradford's BCB radio. This experience stretched to audio editing and production for hourly bulletins. Multi-platforming was crucial in this role as online news content was needed on a daily basis. 

I worked as an operational journalist for The Pulse in Bradford covering the local elections this May. I provided live information for the station as well as interviews with candidates.

I worked on a nine month part-time work experience placement at Xfm London, shadowing a broadcast journalist. This gave me a first hand insight in to interviewing and reviewing, as well as news collection. I was responsible for editing audio and researched in to stories when background information was needed.

I worked on Cardiff University's student radio station Xpress for two years producing and presenting my own two hour show.



Skills:
I am a highly driven individual and always strive to produce the best work I possibly can. I have great people skills that apply to the working environment as well as when dealing with the public. I am energetic, enthusiastic and am ready for any challenge thrown at me which I can apply my multi-media skills to.


Special Interests:
I enjoy listening to and watching live music and hope to work this in to my career at some point. I also have a passion for illustrative art and creative writing. My special interests include editing audio, interviewing, as well as writing up those interviews to encapsulate the essence of a personality.


Additional Information:

I previously volunteered at the Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital's radio station in Sutton, Greater London. I have a full, clean driving licence and my own car.
