A Bit About Me
Having recently returned from working a ski season in Canada, I am looking to work in a creative environment and develop my skills further in a professional setting. Studying Creative and Professional Writing at the University of Plymouth, I specialised in journalism. Completing a ten thousand word dissertation on women in motorsport, I interviewed multiple drivers, engineers and trailblazers within the industry.
Focussing on under-represented groups, I often wrote about women and LGBT+ individuals within the sports industry. Alongside these focusses, I challenged myself to write about numerous other topics, covering environment, crime and changing times within the media. While writing ‘creative’ pieces, each was partnered with a critical commentary analysing social and academic influences.
