About Me

I am a BJTC accredited journalist who graduated from the University of Leeds with a 1st class degree in Journalism. I am an all-rounder, with practice in digital writing, filming for television, copywriting and content creation, with emphasis on social media. This image here shows me in action when filming my very own documentary that I produced for my final project. My documentary for television was a 5 minute piece on why children no longer enjoy reading. This work best showcases all my talent as I researched, wrote, filmed, interviewed and edited the whole piece myself. Creating physical work like this and other content creation is what I love doing the most!

Lessons to Learn on your Journey Towards Allyship

Lessons to Learn on your Journey Towards Allyship In fact, allyship is an ongoing process – a journey that I am still navigating. Yes, the journey can sometimes be uncomfortable but an important fundamental of allyship to remember is that although you may be feeling this way, as an ally, this conversation is not about you. Allyship can take on many forms. Everyone has their own meaning for the term ‘ally’. For example, your friends may be known as your ‘allies’. You choose to support your frie
