About

I am a final year English student at the University of Nottingham with a strong interest in publishing, book licensing, digital media and print. I am Print editor for Impact Magazine, responsible for the production of our seasonal print issues using Adobe InDesign while coordinating the writers, editors, and designers to meet commercial rights standards and deadlines. I also had the opportunity to work with Left Lion magazine as an editorial intern for the week upcoming to their June print publication. For the past year and a half, I have also had a part-time role with an independent store alongside my degree. In my gap year, I gained administrative experience with Sherrard's Solicitors, introducing me to the importance of project coordination, interpersonal skills and technological literacy. I am fluent in Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Office, Excel, WordPress, Outlook, Canva, and CapCut. I am now looking toward junior and graduate roles.
