Administrative Assistant for Riverside Playgroup Twickenham, adhoc since 2021

I provide administrative and operations support, including digital communications, document filing and data entry, and managing accounts. During this role I implemented new procedures for curriculum planning, monitoring children’s development and recruitment in line with EYFS guidance; I developed all the associated documentation and onboarded staff accordingly. I have also refined the organisation’s policies and prospectus, and produced various operations documentation.

I produced a live 30 minute TV broadcast with a studio audience for Bower News, UWE's in-house journalism platform.

As senior editor I commission articles for the lifestyle section via social media, coordinate with junior editors to proofread, edit and publish content on our Wordpress site, and publish my own articles. This role has developed my knowledge of the student market, as well as my ability to write engaging and empathetic content about mental health and wellbeing.

I curated a collection of films promoting the UN 17 sustainable development goals to be screened at Sparks Bristol. I sourced and catalogued films, researched licensing requirements and developed screening programmes suitable for adults and children.

Media Production (Journalism) BA degree at University of the West of England, 2021 - 2025

During my degree I trained across reporting, editorial and production roles in a live newsroom environment. I have experience researching stories and conducting professional-level interviews, enabling me to produce multimedia journalism for a range of audiences. I've worked on our digital newsdesk, curated bulletins reflecting topical and breaking stories, and collaborated on live broadcasts in radio and TV studios. In addition, I have sound knowledge of journalistic law and industry standards, and some  basic experience court reporting.
