2020 - Present Day
Freelancer
I specialise in informational features and creative fiction. I largely write short stories and have a keen interest in creating modern adaptions of classic and obscure literature. I have also produced online content for websites and blogs, as well as having experience in radio and podcasts.
​
I am adept at working independently and creating exactly what is required. I also have a high level of literacy, guaranteeing all work will be flawlessly written and edited.

The Warriner Sixth Form - Achievements
Whilst at sixth form, I won the Library Student of the Year award twice for my contribution to Library activities, such as co-running the Creative Writing and Reading Club. We helped young students create short stories by offering starter activities and writing tips. This was originally part of my 'vInspired Award', but I continued it until I left as I enjoyed it so much.
​
I also gained a 'High Flyer' award at the end of Year 12 for my effort and academic achievement.

Work Experience - The Four Shires
I learnt to successfully conduct interviews and how to structure an article with the information gained; two of which were published in the magazine. The experience also gave me an increased knowledge of the processes involved in small press publications.

Catering Assistant - The National Trust
I worked with a team that ensured the restaurant ran as efficiently as possible and was always kept in immaculate condition. My duties included handling food, working on the counter, cleaning the restaurant and kitchen utensils, as well as ensuring every customer’s experience was to their satisfaction. These responsibilities enhanced my time management, communication and teamwork abilities.

I won the ‘Student of the Year’ award for Art and Graphics during my time at secondary school. I also passed the Bronze Trinity College London Arts Award and the OCR ICT 1/2 GCSE.

Work Experience - Banbury Litho.
I gained an insight into magazine creation from a printer's perspective, with a focus on how to design and professionally print projects. This enabled me to enhance my graphic design skills and successfully create mock-up designs for projects such as the Warriner School Planner cover and the Brackley Town Football Club cover using Photoshop.
