      Work experience

      I got to cover court reporting, political meetings, Royal visits and many other interesting events. I wrote a front page exclusive story, which I believe was my greatest achievement. I showed journalistic initiative and independence, as well as a willingness to learn and work with others to get the most out of my experience.

      Observational documentary production

      I produced an observational documentary on the closed adoption process for my final university project. I worked on the project myself and all research, filming, editing and production was my own work. I have experience in all areas of the production process and can build strong relationships with characters and case studies. Since leaving university I have created short documentaries on homelessness and mental health services.
