Also a keen writer, I blog and currently write as a freelance journalist for 'The Student Journals', but in my spare time I enjoy writing creative fiction and prose, and have had two of my poems published in young authors anthologies.
I'm also a great lover of doodling and art, and love utilising my artistic and advertising skills where I can, most recently designing a logo for creative film company 'TV and Film Productions'. I am also head of marketing for SongSoc original music society at the University of Birmingham, and have recently helped design and co-design costume for their productions of RENT, Our House and The Producers.
