I'm a former journalism graduate with two years of experience as a journalist for The New Indian Express, where I wrote news on sports, civic issues and art. I've since expanded into media content production, taking on roles as a content creator, photographer and videographer for sports and community projects. I shadowed the broadcasting team of Liverpool FC Live during a FA Cup match, and created a website about women's football in the United Kingdom around the 2022 UEFA Women's EURO. I've volunteered with Goallball UK, coordinating media and social media for events and festivals.
