This is one of the podcasts I produce and create (available on Spotify). In this series I interviewed 3 neurodiverse people to discuss different topics affecting them. This is part of my work where I have been looking at issues around disability and ableism.

This is a TV Package created for a regional TV news audience (as part of my degree).

This piece got very positive feedback in my marks, and by the d/Deaf lecturer interviewed.

For BBC Radio Cumbria, I worked with a producer to create a series looking at issues young people face. As shown above - this is me interviewing Rory Stewart (my local MP at the time), about young people and politics in Cumbria.
