Molly Sutherland

I’m a sport and communication enthusiast. I studied Journalism at Nottingham Trent university where I received a first class honours. The course enhanced my verbal and written communication, improved my short-form and social media content creation abilities, and sharpened my problem-solving skills, intensifying my passion for producing engaging content.

I have played football since early childhood for various clubs throughout the football pyramid, up to tier three of the national structure, including Leicester City, Ipswich Town, Derby County, Loughborough Lightning, Cambridge United, Nottingham Trent University, and England Universities.

I had the opportunity to captain Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Nottingham Trent University, enabling me to develop my communication, people development, and leadership skills.
