About

Recent BA graduate at King’s College London (Philosophy major, Politics minor). I will pursue a PGDL this Autumn due to an interest in intellectual property and commercial law. I am interning at Brace Yourself PR, supporting artist release campaigns in a small team environment. This includes drafting press releases, maintaining press databases, supporting media outreach, and working across both established press relations and creator-led social media content within the music industry. I am also a freelance music journalist writing for several publications including Wonderland, DIY and The Line of Best Fit, pitching editorial angles and conducting interviews to produce long-form features. I was previously Head of Marketing for KCL’s International Relations Society, producing and managing social media content and overseeing the marketing team.
