Football has always been a massive part of my life—it's something I've grown up with and it inspires me every day. Like a lot of people my age, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do for the future, but my love for football and the creativity that comes with sharing it always stood out. In January 2024, I decided to take that passion to the next level by starting a social media account for my favorite non-league club, Southend United. By the end of the year, the page had gained over 1,000 followers across different platforms, and I landed a role with the club as their Digital Marketing Executive, starting in November. On top of that, I launched a West Ham United Academy page that attracted more than 1,750 fans, allowing me to team up with The West Ham Way to write articles and gain experience in journalism, digital content creation, and communication. I’m excited to keep developing my skills in football journalism, social media, and marketing, aiming to build a career that combines my passion for creativity, sports, and storytelling.
