Public Speaking


Over the last few years, I have refined my public speaking skills by speaking about various topics, including side hustle culture, freelance journalism, and navigating careers in the public relations and journalism industry. I've been asked to feature on panels and host masterclasses and workshops for platforms such as Journoresources, Women of The Wick, and So You Want To Be A Journalist. I have also spoken at educational institutions that include the University of Westminster and Oxford Brookes University.
