Work Experience
During my time at university, I gained experience in Media and PR by working with different companies to produce interesting content; from social media campaigns to exciting events. Below showcases some of the work that I created for some of my placements, as well as some course related work.

My responsibilities were to help generate research (e.g looking at SEO's) and create content for the online magazine. I was also involved in planning social media content and creating content plans for them.

For my PR Communication Manangement module, I designed and delivered a communications plan presentation for M&S. I was given a live brief which I had to respond to. The presentation included an analysis of their current communication platforms before then setting out reasonable recommendations for future development of M&S's communications.

Women's Empowerment
Project
For one of my course related projects, I helped create a Women's empowerment campaign to celebrate 100 years of Women's Rights. I loved producing this project as it had an important meaning behind it and involved so many different people.
I was part of a group for this project, I put myself forward to be the leader of the overall project. This helped my leadership skills as well as the ability to work in a group. My main responsibilities were thinking of campaign ideas as well as researching, producing the videos and overseeing all work produced.
