I am a focused Media production and Journalism student with a keen knowledge and interest in online fashion journalism and digital marketing. I have a keen interest in fashion, and I believe I possess the skills needed to be successful in the fashion industry due to my wide knowledge of social media and my excellent writing and verbal communication skills.

I am also able to work well independently and within a team which I believe is an important aspect of the fashion industry.

My objective is to enter the fashion journalism/marketing industry.
