I am a trained journalist with over six years’ experience producing, presenting and editing video for web and social platforms. In my role as a Digital Content Creator at Immediate, I specialised in parenting, technology, gaming and household content, creating commercial videos ranging from long-form YouTube features to rapid-turnaround TikTok Shop video. I also have more than three years’ experience producing written and video content for a wide range of children’s publications, including the Official Pokémon Magazine and titles such as LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Minecraft. When I’m not testing kids’ tech or playing the latest Pokémon games, you can usually find me binge‑watching Netflix or riding roller coasters.

    paper Toniebox 2 Review

    As part of our package of content focused around the release of the Toniebox 2, I created both a written and video review for the MadeForMums website and YouTube channel. I managed this project from inception through to delivery, testing the product, writing the review, adapting the review into a video script for YouTube and subsequently creating the video.

    This built on my existing work creating content around the Toniebox and Yoto projects.
