As a recent First Class Bachelor of Arts graduate from The University of Manchester, I hold excellent oral and written communication skills, as well as editorial, research, and IT expertise. I am confident with applications like Microsoft Office, WordPress, Adobe Premier Pro, Canva, and Substack. My experience writing for magazines such as Femmine, Echo Review, and The Mancunian alongside my degree ensures that I thrive under pressure and consistently meet deadlines, with both adaptability and excellent attention to detail. My background in theatre and film production, as well as customer service, have strengthened my interpersonal aptitude and ability to time manage efficiently in fast paced environments, multitasking both independently and within a cohort. My current part time position as a bookseller with Waterstones has bestowed me with invaluable publishing insight, bolstering my existing understanding of culture and media that I gathered during my degree. I excel in forward facing roles, and any environments that enable creativity and innovation. My work ethic is second to none, and I am excited to develop my skills further.
