Hi, I'm Osaro Omo-Bamawo, a budding sports journalist and content creator based in London. I'm currently studying Sports Journalism at the University of East London, with a focus on storytelling beyond results on the pitch—exploring identity, culture, and the real-life experiences of athletes. I also run an independent blog, Beyond the Pitch, publishing weekly features on sport, race, mental health, and athlete journeys. I have experience in long-form features, interviews, audio editing, and camera operation, complemented by a coaching background that strengthens my communication and leadership. I'm seeking entry-level roles in digital media, journalism, or sports content production.
