Personal Statement
From a young age, listening to presenters such as Will Manning of Capital & Toby Anstis of Heart inspired me to create & build my own radio show in my home studio. From this, I started my own Soundcloud account where I would post and discuss topics and news reports that derived from my personal experience.
Since becoming a volunteer in community radio in late-2018, I progressed through the stations' ranks and I now present the weekday Drivetime programme along with overseeing the station's production output. Most recently, I was named a finalist in the Young Aspiration category of the Somerset Education Business Partnership Awards, all down to my endeavours for getting into the radio industry.
I am also proficient in programmes including Adobe Audition, Burli Newsroom, Myriad and Zetta play-out systems along with GSelector. After just finishing Creative Media Production studies at college, I am actively looking for opportunities to kick start my career within the industry.
