Summary

Creative, highly motivated and hard working student with both excellent communication skills and relevant experience for a future career in media and communication. I am at the end of my first year at Loughborough University and seeking work experience / placement opportunities for the summer of 2025 and my placement year from July 2026.

I am very adaptable and always strive to enhance my experiences by going the extra mile with a can do attitude. These qualities have been invaluable during my study and work experiences to date. Including when I presented my own radio show with Ribble FM and was part of a performance at the Edinburgh Fringe festival.
