A highly creative, proactive and motivated Durham University graduate, with a passion for impactful and engaging storytelling. In September I will begin the MA Magazine Journalism course at City St George’s, University of London.

Getting my start in student journalism as Interview editor at Indigo, Durham University’s arts and culture magazine, I was able to craft insightful features on people and projects that were meaningful to my student community.

I developed this skill further in a short work experience placement at MyLondon, analysing their high-performing articles to inform my pitches for the publication.

During my final year, I served as Deputy Editor-in-Chief at Palatinate, Durham University’s award-winning student newspaper. In this role, I supported editorial projects and led teams working to tight deadlines.

I have also been the Executive Producer for the student theatre company Wrong Tree, spearheading both social media strategy and production logistics.

Alongside this I have launched a Substack newsletter, araremusic, to allow myself the freedom to experiment with my writing while building an independent portfolio. I hope to continue to grow this as I leave university. At present it focuses on creative writing, but I am aiming to broaden this to include commentary on my interests including queerness, feminism and culture.

I am actively seeking opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals and media brands; to gain experience, develop my craft and meaningfully contribute.
