My backgroundI've got a First Class Honours Degree in Media Production and am a fully qualified NCTJ-trained journalist.
I started out in journalism at the Express & Chronicle Series of newspapers in Huddersfield (part of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner), owned by Trinity Mirror. I became a senior reporter within just 18 months then left to travel the world before entering the world of freelance journalism. I now work as chief feature writer on First For Business magazine, based in Sheffield and am also the editor of an exciting new online road safety magazine called One More Second. As well as this I write newsletters, website copy, press releases and corporate documents. I'm also a qualified proofreader and work for a number of national organisations as a proofreader and editor. |
