About Me
I'm a Birmingham City University graduate, achieving a 2:1 in my Media and Communications degree.
​
I am very lucky to have already worked with some amazing people, such as Simon Forster (Creative Director at Global), Mark Goodier (BBC DJ & Founder and Chairman of Wisebuddah) and Tim Hammond (Managing Director of Wisebuddah).
I have been able to develop my skills in Adobe Audition, PremierPro, Photoshop and InDesign, as well as being able to operate industry standard equipment both in TV and Radio.

Professional History
MY EXPERIENCE
I am dynamic, energetic and thrive by working with people whilst having the ability to work well alone. I have worked with a wide range of people from all different age groups and abilities, meaning that I am versatile and able to communicate well with almost anyone.
RADIO PRESENTER
SEPTMBER 2018 - PRESENT
I am currently a daytime presenter on Scratch Radio.
​
I co-present a Breakfast and Drivetime show with Martha Coleman where we discuss a range of topical news stories and also include audience interactive content.
DJ
OCTOBER 2014 - PRESENT
Working as a commercial DJ, I work mainly at contracted venues on events such as Wedding's and Birthday parties.
I have acquired many skills from this job including ability to communicate clearly and effectively, as well as technical skills from both setting up equipment and using it.
The largest event I have DJ'ed was a birthday party held at The Luton Hoo Hotel (prestigious venue) where acts such as JME and Lady Leshurr performed alongside me.
RUNNER AT WISEBUDDAH
