About

I am a trainee Sports Journalist, currently studying an NCTJ accredited Masters in Sports Journalism at St Mary's University. I have a BA (Hons) degree in History from the University of Cambridge and after graduating in 2010, I spent three years building up my journalism experience. My previous experience includes working as a Sports Reporter at The Voice Newspaper, in the communications team at Kick It Out and writing for the Non-League Paper, the Camden New Journal and a number of independent football websites. I have done work placements at talkSPORT and the Independent and I am one of the main organisers of the national campaign Non-League Day. Really looking forward to getting my NCTJ and keen to build up further experience in the media to help me on my way to achieving my dream!
