CV

I am a dependable and extremely motivated multimedia journalist. From self-shooting to creating packages and podcasts, I can cater to news on all platforms, be it digital or TV. I do well in leadership roles and work best in a fast-paced environment. Although my strengths lie in my editing and filming skills, I am well suited to script writing and determined to improve in the field of journalism. The Newsdays module has provided me with industry level experience, allowing me to meet deadlines and produce news on the day.

Content Creator - UCLan social media

September 2022 - Present

Having the ability to understand and create trendy content, I have recently been commissioned by the University to create content for their official social media platform. I have managed my own account, posting various creative pieces that reflect different aspects of my life and my studies which have provided me with experience in filming, editing, and managing posts. News is consumed on masse on social media platforms, and having the ability to create content that provides news for readers is vital in journalism. My most recent work was a video compilation with a voice over narrative of campus facilities for women to celebrate International Women’s Day.

As well as creating content for their social media pages, I also shadowed press officers to interviews and discussions, where I had the chance to join in and give my opinions.
