Motivated history graduate eager to excel in journalism.

What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic team environment that fosters creativity and growth.

I am a motivated and personable history graduate from the University of Bristol, where I earned a 2:1 degree. My academic journey has equipped me with strong analytical skills and a comprehensive understanding of global socio-political contexts. I thrive in environments that challenge me to contribute creatively and intellectually, and I am eager to bring my keen eye for detail and positive temperament into a professional role within digital or print journalism.

My recent experience as a researcher for Noiser Podcasts allowed me to develop a documentary series by conducting in-depth research and sourcing reliable references. Additionally, my role as a runner for a commercial project honed my organizational skills and adaptability in fast-paced media environments. I have also contributed to my university's paper and created my own website to showcase my digital and written work, documenting personal experiences and investigative pieces.

Beyond my academic and professional experiences, I have volunteered with United Response, supporting adults with learning disabilities, which helped me develop strong interpersonal and teaching skills. I am now looking for an opportunity that allows me to collaborate within a dynamic team, tackle real-world challenges, and foster both personal and professional growth.
