About Me
I am a highly determined, career minded individual with a wide range of experience. I have highly transferable skills from working in a variety of different jobs, including large companies such as the BBC. I enjoy working in a demanding environment and relish the opportunity to present new ideas or approach tasks in a different way.
I have just gradated from Birmingham City University with a first class BA (Hons) degree in Media and Communications. Throughout university, I have completed several different modules focusing on different areas of the media, these include PR, journalism, TV, radio, and new media. From this, I have adapted and developed both my skill and knowledge of the media industry. This has also lead me to complete a multi-media final year production project, showcasing the wide breadth of my skills. I also undertook my dissertation, which draws upon my theory studies and underpins how the audience of 'Love Island' read meanings of sexuality and sexualisation.
For my final year project, I set up my own company called 'Helping Hands', an events company who specialise in small UK charities, helping them raise money and gain recognition. During this project I assigned two clients and created social media plans, planned and hosted a fundraising event which incorporated both charities raising over £1,400, created two radio podcasts which were broadcasted on Switch Radio, took part in a live interview promoting the fundraiser on BBC Hereford and Worcester, set up different social media platforms for my company as well as a website. Alongside this, I showcased my professionally by sourcing and recruiting collaborators to help me with aspects of my projects, creating contracts for all involved. creating some material around the importance of fundraising for my website. From completing this project, I have further shown how I can juggle my skills and demonstrated my wide range of media knowledge. It has also shown me that I am capable of taking on numerous projects as well as working in high pressured environments.
