About
I'm a dedicated and adaptable student currently studying Media, Journalism, and Culture at Cardiff University. I'm especially interested in exploring different cultures and passionate about using creativity, whether through writing or other forms to inspire and connect with others. I set goals for myself and stay organised so I can keep moving forward and improve every step of the way.
I also enjoy finding solutions to challenges and thinking creatively when things don't go to plan, and confident in my ability to take on responsibilities. Through my experiences, including participating in sports teams, I've developed strong communication and teamwork skills. I take joy in socialising and enjoy the thrill of new challenges, eagerly pushing myself to grow and improve.
I also strongly value creativity, enjoying sharing ideas, and am always keen to explore fresh perspectives and solutions.
