I believe media is powerful; its preparation, presentation and delivery are crucial. It effectively connects large and diverse audiences, influences opinions, and shapes public perception in positive and negative ways. Being able to convey messages creatively and clearly to capture the cause and translate it to the public is a skill I want to develop. I am eager to learn, gain experience and improve my existing skills to prepare for a career in this broad field. As a young British woman of African descent, I feel I have a lot to communicate across many areas and want to be able to get my messages right. I welcome opportunities to learn more, gain experience and improve on my existing skills, which will help me prepare for a career in this wide-ranging field.
