Outside of my journalism, I am a confident and charismatic public speaker who regularly appears as a guest on panels about the journalism industry.
I am keen to share my expertise with the younger generation, as well as showcase my work to mainstream media brands for them to understand the importance of engaging with wider and more diverse audiences.
Contact me if you’d like to discuss any public speaking opportunities.
