What have you been up to so far?

I’m a digital content intern for Virgin Radio. I source images, proofread articles, write social media posts and create social content using industry professional applications like Adobe Creative Cloud. These tools have broadened my media editing skills in both audio and imagery.

What does an average day look like for you?

In the morning, I look at Virgin Radio’s social media followers and produce a list showing the growth. I update the Virgin Radio website with a story on the latest Chris Evans guests. I edit the audio recordings from Chris’ guests and create the imagery for the posts, adding our aesthetic Virgin Radio sauce on them!

Why were you attracted to journalism/broadcasting?

I love to help people and I am passionate about music. As you can imagine, Virgin Radio is a great fit. I am quite competitive and love to learn so I’m always trying to do my best.

What have you learnt so far?

I’ve learnt how to properly manage my time which has made me more efficient in and out of work. The skills I learn every day on the job are invaluable.

There are so many resources for improving skills and learning at News UK which has been good for my development.

Tell us about your highlights on the job.

I was told by my managers when I started, that a lot of people in the company are transparent and easygoing. I took that with a pinch of salt because I thought it was a pep talk to make me feel at ease. I was wrong!

The Virgin Radio team are the kindest group of people who genuinely love what they do, work well as a team and always make time for you to speak about anything you need to know.

In ten years, where do you see yourself?

In the next ten years, I would have made a big impact in the music/media industry – so I’ll come back and give an exclusive interview with Virgin Radio when it happens.
