About Me

Curious, creative, and eager to make an impact

Fresh Perspective, Strong Foundation

I recently graduated with a BA (Hons) in Media & Communications from the University of Manchester, achieving First-Class Honours. My degree gave me a solid grounding in media theory, digital production, and audience analytics — but my real education came from getting hands-on with projects, internships, and personal experiments.

I'm fascinated by how stories travel across platforms, from short-form TikTok documentaries to long-form investigative features. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can contribute fresh ideas while learning from experienced teams. I'm currently seeking entry-level roles in content production, digital media, or communications.
