I am a recent English Language and Creative Writing graduate, on a determined quest to start a creative career as a Copywriter or Junior Editor.

After three years of doing what I love at University, I graduated with a First, and since then I have been gaining experience in many different roles; from Marketing Intern to Business Support for the NHS. This experience has been invaluable in making it clear that my allegiance lies with an imaginative and creative role.

I am a confident person who greets every endeavour with willingness and enthusiasm.

Marketing Assistant
Search Press Publishers, Tunbridge Wells May 2014 to July 2014 • 2 months

This family run company took me under its wing and allowed me a great deal of responsibility and independence, resulting in a steep learning curve. I took on many tasks such as; liaising with magazines to arrange extracts, organising two big events (Patchings 2014 and the Author Party), creating copy for their website, and writing numerous book reviews. I learnt the necessary components for a successful marketing sceme, and gained experience in client communication, and the pubishing process.
