After graduating I started as a Journalist at BBC Radio Berkshire.

My role includes reporting, news reading and producing our programmes. Sheffield’s news days gave me a chance to build up a portfolio of radio work and hone my audio skills, which I used to take my first steps in the industry.

Lynn’s radio sessions helped me to realise I had a passion for making radio - I use all of the radio package making and writing skills I learnt at University every week! The course is hard work, but there is lots of support from your tutors and amazing industry connections too.
