Always been interested in marketing, eventually leading me in to doing a Marketing and Business Management course at Oxford Brookes in order to expand my knowledge further and now I work as a content writer at Firepath Digital. I enjoy travelling and seeing new cultures and experiencing new things in my spare time - hopefully I'll be able to share some of these experiences with you guys! Of course I really enjoy writing too and one of my passions to work on in my spare time is writing screenplays, maybe one day one of these will turn in to a tv show! I usually write for the drama genre and hope to publish some of my screen plays soon.
