I wrote in and helped to edit the newspaper at Lancaster University, called Scan. I wrote both news and comment for the newspaper and then became editor of the comment section, involving gathering news, handing out topics and organising articles with the writers and then editing their work and publishing it to the website. I also have had work experience at the Pontefract and Castleford Express where I wrote news stories.

I currently write for North Leeds News as part of the postgraduate course in print jounalism at Leeds Trinity University, due for completion in December 2011.

I am hard-working and always give my all to everything I do. I have good researching skills and I can write on a variety of different subjects. I have skills in interviewing, vox-pops, constructing a news story, finding stories, media law, public affairs and basic shorthand. I also have experience using Quark.
