BIO
Unveiling the Writer
Growing up, I’ve always carried a strong attachment to sports. Having been named after the Blues, my love for football was inevitable and my passion for journalism - whether that be discussing the topics I care about or sharing the stories of others through my own words - soon followed...
​
I recently graduated with a Journalism and Spanish degree at the University of Roehampton, spending a year abroad in Spain to study at the University of Málaga. During university, I gained journalistic experience at local magazines, Shout Out UK and more recently, FourFourTwo. I currently write for the Offside Rule Podcast, covering match reports, features and my own series of fan profiles where I interview unique fans from across the UK. My written work has been published across a range of different sports and lifestyle platforms – and I am also currently taking part in the BCOMS Diversification of the Sports Media programme.
