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.
