I am very interested in any freelancing roles you have available as a Researcher at your organisation. Since graduating with a 1st class honours in BA Media Production at Birmingham City University, I have gained TV experience at Sky, BBC and ITV. At the BBC, I was a freelance Junior Researcher for BBC Spotlight in April 2023 after pitching a news story concept to them about what the future holds for a landmark former council office at Weymouth's North Quay. As someone with a real flair for researching and a great communicator, I was really pleased with how I thought of this story idea, researched the history of the building location, sourced contributors by engaging with them. I also obtained archive footage as context to this story.

My biggest passions are sport and local interest and my ultimate ambition is to break into TV presenting/reporting. So in my spare time I have my own YouTube channel where I research these subjects before presenting different interviews and mini documentaries relating to them.Since August 2022, I have been working on Switch Radio (Birmingham based community station) as both a Sub Editor/Reporter for local non-league football and as a presenter for my own 90s Dance Rewind show from their recording studio on Sundays at 7pm.As a fan of Portsmouth FC for over 30 years, I write blogs for the men’s and women’s away matches for a fans website with over 20k followers on X called ‘PompeyNewsNow’. These blogs include details of the local attractions and history of the cities I visit and a match report itself. Based in Birmingham, I have my own car (with a full clean driving licence and business insurance) so would be prepared to travel for the right opportunity. I have attached a copy of my CV and link to my website below my signature for my full media portfolio including my YouTube video and football blogs.I look forward to hearing of any opportunities.
