Throughout my early years, I've had a deep fascination with technology, spanning from assembling Cybot from Real Robots to frequenting the Bowlers Computer Markets. More recently, from 2013 to 2018, I authored blog posts and crafted video reviews for the UK mobile network giffgaff, while simultaneously assisting with customer support within the community.

In 2016, I earned my BSc (Hons) in Multimedia and Internet Technology from The University of Salford. This program immersed me in diverse area, including video and audio production, mobile app and web development, as well as social technologies.

In 2017, I volunteered as a Digital Reporter at BBC Radio Manchester at MediaCItyUK for their Over to You initiative, which empowered 100 non-journalist volunteers from Greater Manchester to take the reins of the airwaves.

In 2019, I embarked on a new venture by launching a podcast titled The Withering Effect alongside some friends. This project allowed me to utilize my skills in graphic design, audio editing, and community management. Concurrently, I successfully completed my MSc in Digital Marketing at Salford Business School, delving into subjects such as digital marketing and analytics, search and social media marketing, and digital innovation.

During my tenure at Salford Business School, I participated in a Business Innovation Project during an internship at The Pixel Workshop, providing me with the opportunity to translate theoretical concepts into practical applications. I revisited both The Pixel Workshop and its sister company, Image Foundry, in 2024 to conduct a review and enhance their search engine optimization.
