ABOUT
I am a recent Broadcast Journalism graduate from The University of Salford.
I am fortunate to have had a wide range of experience in journalism: from creating TV News packages and hosting radio shows to writing articles and running social media accounts.
I particularly enjoy researching and writing about pop culture, social trends, and queer issues.
