Knutsford, England, United Kingdom
Over the past year I've taken time to reassess my career direction, and have decided to focus on developing a writing portfolio. It explores: media and cultural commentary, film and television analysis, brand storytelling, and reflective personal essays. I have particular interests in creating written content for digital platforms, ranging from long-form essays to brand storytelling and blog writing. My time working as a recruiter developed not only my communication and time management skills, but my commercial awareness and ability to build client relationships. All are invaluable skills that have prepared me for the next step of my career. In September 2026 I will be going to university to study a degree in Communications & Media; but would welcome any opportunities to write, collaborate, or simply gain experience in the media industry.
