Chloe Hill

As a writer at Her Campus Leeds, I produced engaging and informative articles for a student audience, covering topics such as lifestyle, entertainment, and style. I was also elected social media secretary for a year, managing the Instagram and Twitter accounts of the Leeds chapter. In addition, I have hosted and produced a weekly show alongside a podcast on Leeds Student Radio, where I discussed trends, produced quizzes and provided advice to guests and listeners.

I have recently graduated from the University of Leeds with a BA degree in Communication and Media, and have gained skills in research, analysis, and critical thinking. I am passionate about creating and sharing stories that reflect the diverse and dynamic experiences of young people today. I am looking for opportunities to learn from and collaborate with other media professionals and to contribute to the field of journalism and communication.
