The Tilehurst End

• Assistant Editor

  • Jan 2020 - Present

  This role combines two of my passions: Reading Football Club and journalism. The Tilehurst End is Reading's #1 fan site and has been running for nearly a decade now.As an assistant editor, it's my job to write news and feature articles, continuing to produce my match previews for the games, editing and publishing submissions as well as posting to the social media pages.

• Match Preview Writer

  • Nov 2018 - Jan 2020

  Since the start of the 2019/20 season, I have been the sole match preview writer at The Tilehurst End, taking additional coverage from another writer in the same department who has work commitments.I started a minor role in writing match previews in late 2018, sharing the duty with another writer. I used a similar template for the match previews that he did to keep continuity within these previews.However, after taking this role on as the only match preview writer, I have been given the chance to control the content and layout of the articles. I'm very pleased to be in this role at (arguably) the #1 Reading FC fan site, being verified on Twitter and mentioned on BT Sport.I fully believe that the match previews are the first thing that some Reading fans read on a matchday. Therefore, I aim to entertain readers with a long read before the kick-off.Some of my earlier work can be found here: https://thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/2018-19-match-previews-reading-fc Show less

  During the summer of 2020, I worked with the Herald across their Surrey and Hampshire editions from home in this unprecedented time for reporters and journalists across the world. After spending time at national level with the Express, I reverted back to working with the local media voluntarily whilst this crisis continued to have an impact on media organisations across the country. Although I had written for the Herald before, this was my first time working at a newspaper, albeit in a virtual format. Show less

• EFL Content Writer (Intern)

  • May 2019 - Aug 2019

  At Snack Media, my job was to create multiple articles per day as a sports writer at Football League World. Before I finished my first year at university on Friday 17th May, I decided to get in contact with Snack Media to see if there were any opportunities available for me to make the most of during the summer. After both a video call and then a conversation with the Head of Content (of Snack Media) in London, I started a trial period with footballleagueworld.co.uk (which is part of Snack Media) on Wednesday 22nd May. This was with a view to a summer-long role. When this trial period finished, I was offered a regular writing role which I finished in mid-September before starting the second year of university.

Sports Direct

• Casual Sales Assistant

  • Dec 2016 - May 2017

  Sales Assistant specified in the large footwear department at the Bracknell branch of Sports Direct. This was a fast paced zero-hours contract job in which communication (often via a radio) was key to efficiency and success. My job included serving customers (of all ages), till work (which included till training), processing stock and making sure products were security tagged, distributing stock to the correct areas of the store and making sure the store looked tidy. The job included team work and individual work (especially when I was the only person serving footwear in one section of the store) and the customer service aspect of this job was very important, and now I have experience in this.
