I've just finished my Journalism degree at Sunderland University, which started in September 2006. During my degree, I have:

  • Taken classes in film history/theory, as well as how to review, to help expand my knowledge in these areas
  • Written for my local paper, the Sunderland Echo
  • Written for my university's campus paper, The Wear
  • Published several articles in an online magazine (magazine not yet available online).

I hope to go into either film journalism or video game journalism in the next few months.
