Journalist, writer, translator
NEWS REPORTING
I currently work as a freelance journalist at Bauer News Scotland, reporting on local, national and international news stories for regional radio stations. As a bulletin editor, I write scripts, conduct interviews for radio and read bulletins in a fast-paced newsroom.
I previously completed my NCTJ diploma in multi-media journalism at News Associates London. The course included modules in media law, ethics, digital journalism and news reporting as well as practical assignments. I achieved my shorthand qualification at 100 wpm.
​
I have written news articles for South West Londoner, KCW Today, Sunday Times and MyLondon. I have also written articles for AFP news agency which have been used by global outlets.

IN LONDON, RAIL-SIDE GARDENING BLOSSOMS DURING PANDEMIC
A busy commuter train station is an unlikely place to find a haven for flowers, bees and hedgehogs.

RICHMOND COMMUNITY GROUP COMBAT RACISM WITH INCLUSIVITY
The past few years have seen a surge in racially-motivated hate crimes across the UK that have been attributed to an increasingly divided political landscape.
But at a local level, community organisations such as Multicultural Richmond are rallying together to challenge prejudice and promote social inclusion.
I covered the general election 2019 for South West Londoner. This involved attending a vote count and interviewing candidates, writing multiple articles, editing copy, uploading online coverage via Wordpress, and working on InDesign to produce a special e-edition the following day. I worked through the night to produce high-quality breaking news reports and analysis. Producing the news edition required a great level of team work, focus, and self-motivation.
