Education, hobbies and other facts about me

I have a BA(Hons) Degree in Journalism and Sports Studies from the University of Worcester. My studies included many subjects and modules including Sports Journalism, Broadcast Journalism, Sports Science, Sports Psychology, Sports Coaching and my final year Independent Study Dissertation entitled "An investigation on the comparison of media coverage of disabled sport in comparison to able bodied sports and whether this affects participation levels of the sports"

I am a keen musician and play the trumpet. I especially like jazz and big band sounds and in particular Miles Davis and Chuck Mangione. I was lead trumpet for the Bridgend Youth Orchestra and Jazz Band and was a member of the Four Counties Youth Orhcestra for ten years playing in almost thirty concerts throughout South Wales.

 

I am also keen on amateur dramatics having played in many school productions but in particular takling the role of Brittany in Pencoed Comprehensive's 2007 production of We Will Rock You. I have also been a member of the Bridgend Youth Theatre taking part in many productions at the Grand Pavilion in Porthcawl including West Side Story and Sweeney Todd.

I am now back in the UK and have started writing articles for the Don't Kill The Pigeon and Readwave online magazines. This is an exciting time for me as a rookie journalist starting out on my career path, getting articles published on a regular basis. I hope this will be the start of my journalist career.

The greatest experience ever - the CN Tower Edgewalk and today I went and did it (see photo on Home page). Standing (outside of the CN Tower) on the edge of a metal platform 1147 feet up in the air and held there by two tethers - open to the elements. It was so much fun and it even snowed
