Portfolios
Writing
From WhatCulture to Sky News, I have written multiple articles on social issues, entertainment, and breaking news.
My Vinci’s Pick blog cultivated a passion and talent for writing, as well as the best SEO practices. Since then, I have garnered around 350,000 views writing for WhatCulture.
Audio
Whether it’s radio editing, writing, scheduling, training, producing, or presenting, you can bet I’ve dabbled in it with great success.
I was a committee member for the University of Manchester’s Fuse FM, and have published multiple radio packages, some on BBC Radio 4’s You and Yours programme.
Video
I am a skilled video editor and producer, trained in Adobe Suite, Avid Media Composer, and Lightworks.
I have worked on film sets and recorded and edited headlining news stories, working in the field with limited resources and in fast-paced, newsroom environments.
