About Me
I am deeply immersed in music and culture, in my lifestyle and writing. I believe that there has never been such a vital time for these industries to flourish, in a world where journalism is currently threatened, protest through art forms has never been more important.
I am part of the Rising Sun Collective and predominately focus my time on discovering and providing a platform to give underground, underrepresented artists a voice.

2015 / JULY 2018
Goldsmiths, University of London
Over the last three years, I have been taught a number of valuable skills which are equally valuable to real-life journalism.
I can use HTML, CSS and JavaScript coding, which has already come in handy when I was an editor at EastLondonLines - a number of pieces needed interactive graphs embedding in the code. Moreover, on my personal blog, I am easily able to edit Wordpress through the code to solve any issues.
I have been trained in using industry standard camera equipment, for news reporting and photojournalism.
I can confidently write any style of writing and equally confident in interviewing members of the public but also celebrities, council members, mayors etc.
