Profile
I am a highly motivated individual with an enthusiasm for learning new skills and improving my
current abilities. I am an avid follower of the latest film releases and a fan of sports, gaming and
reading. I am interested in journalism and have already gained experience in the field, which has
helped improve my social and communication skills. I often have to prepare what to say beforehand,
though I will commonly have to improvise and make up questions on the spot.
Experience
Though I am only seventeen and still studying at college I have had a small amount of media-related
experience.
I am currently studying BTEC Level 3 Media at Eccles Sixth Form Centre. The Centre is part of the
larger Salford City College which has a sports reporter’s academy. Through the academy I have
interviewed officials from the Manchester FA, ex-Preston Defender Ryan Kidd and attended the Paul
Hunter Charity Golf Day along with a fellow student. The latter event involved me interviewing
snooker players about the day and the Paul Hunter foundation. I interviewed the founder of the
foundation as well as players Steve Davis, Ken Doherty and John Parrot among others. Being chosen
for the event was a proud moment for me as I felt I was representing the college and to interview the
players as a fan of the game was highly-inspiring for me.

I am currently a Crew Member at The Reporters Academy, an organisation that teaches young people
valuable skills in the media. The academy has helped me improve my skills as I have interviewed
many people in my time there. I am currently writing a script for a new TV show, as we interviewed a
TV producer who agreed to give me the opportunity to write the script. I am currently awaiting
feedback, as there is only a small guarantee that it will be chosen.
I did work experience when I was fourteen in the media department of Salford Red Devils. During my
week there I assisted with small things and wrote a couple of articles for the club’s website. (I cannot
attach a link as the pages have now been deleted). I have also wrote a column for the betting
magazine Racing Ahead, which was around two years ago. It was approximately 500 words and I
wrote about the most likely club to finish bottom of the Super League. I have also completed brief
work in a supermarket, where I helped to pack bags to raise money for my local Scout group. This
meant I had to talk to customers, which is something I enjoyed.

side team every Friday. I also enjoy reading, with my favourite genres of book to read including
autobiographies, action and comedy. I love listening to music, with my favourite artists being Queen,
The Rolling Stones and The Arctic Monkeys.
