Public Speaking 

IMG_4902.jpeg

In recent years, I have honed my public speaking abilities through engaging discussions on a range of topics, including the culture of side hustles, freelance journalism, and strategies for navigating careers in the fields of public relations and journalism. My expertise has led to invitations to participate in panel discussions and lead masterclasses and workshops on renowned platforms like Journoresources, Women of The Wick, and So You Want To Be A Journalist. Additionally, I have had the privilege of addressing audiences at esteemed educational institutions such as the University of Westminster and Oxford Brookes University.
