Written portfolio

A collection of written journalistic pieces covering music, news, art and sport.

The story above is from January 2023 that I wrote in my second year of university highlighting an ongoing problem within the healthcare system of Madrid. I have spent many years of my life living in Madrid therefore have seen first hand the attempts from the regional government to destabilise public healthcare and to hand it over to the private sector. This was a story that deserved wider coverage. Read the full article:

Dissertation cover

The spreads above and below are from my final university dissertation where we were tasked to produce three-page spread in Adobe InDesign and an online feature on shorthand.com. These images are from my three-page spread, inspired by Mojo magazine. We were given the freedom to be creative. I chose to explore the music industry with the producer Nick Mills, Kyle Simmons from the established band Bastille and upcoming artist Malaki.

I visited Nick in a music studio in Wimbledon where we discussed all things music at length. He mentioned Malaki as a rising star in the industry, and that they are now working on a project together. The online feature includes a video interview, audio clip and infographics.

Dissertation pages 2 & 3

This two-page magazine spread above is another piece of work made on Adobe Indesign as part of my practical production module at university. In this, I write about one of Nottingham’s most under-appreciated figures in history, Watson Fothergill.

This is an extract from a match report that I wrote for non-league side, Staplehurst Monarchs FC. I am now part of their media team and will be covering them in different formats such as match reports, podcast, tiktoks and more. See full report on their website:

Newark Advertiser bylines

The three screenshots above are articles I wrote whilst on a work placement at the Newark Advertiser in 2023. I spent two weeks at there and gained valuable experience of working in a newsroom writing multiple stories every day.

The story above is a feature I wrote about a football academy in Newark-on-Trent. I interviewed former Nottingham Forest captain Chris Cohen and England international Gary Charles.
