CV

Education

2004-09 – Newlands FCJ, Middlesbrough.

2009-13 – Middlesbrough College.

At college I studied Media.

I left Middlesbrough College with merits.

I am currently studying journalism at Teesside University.

Computer skills

I have a lot of experience using the following: Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Blogger, WordPress, Final Cut Pro and many more.

If I’m told that I will need to use a programme at some point in the future and I am unfamiliar with that programme I will try to get my hands on the programme as soon as possible so I can get familiar with it.

Interests

Football, American Football (NFL), Darts, Golf, MMA (UFC), Boxing; web design, art, video editing and reporting.

Experience

I worked in a busy village cafe for a year in 2009. At the cafe I learnt how to keep cool in a pressured environment. I really enjoyed getting to interact with the customers.

I spent a little bit of time at Middlesbrough FC’s fanzine FMTTM (Fly Me to the Moon). Here I was given a task to write an article for the fanzine.

During my time at Middlesbrough College I was given various assignments that required me to work in a production team. Personally, I think I did well in these assignments; I felt like I contributed to the group.

Work online

Over the years I have formed friendships on Twitter with various sports journalists.

Darren Lewis from the Daily Mirror sent me an email asking me if I wanted to get involved with his daily transfer show ‘Football Spy’. That video can be seen below.

Since then I have been asked to get involved in all kinds of projects, such as:

• Work on the Youtube channel Full Time Devils
• Work on Goal’s Manchester United Youtube channel
• Write for various different blogs

Today, I write for ManUnitedTalk.
