What I'm looking for

I seek entry-to-mid-level roles in sports media that let me produce multimedia content, develop reporting skills, and grow within collaborative, mentorship-driven teams.

I am an aspiring sports journalist studying Sports Journalism at Birmingham City University, focused on creating authentic multimedia content and compelling sports narratives across boxing, basketball, and athletics.

I have hands-on experience as a content creator and researcher, producing videos for YouTube, writing and publishing articles, and developing editing skills with tools like CapCut and Adobe Audition.

I bring strong interviewing, communication, and public-speaking skills, a growing portfolio from university and volunteer programs, and a dedication to informing and entertaining diverse audiences.
