About Me

I’m an Access to Media student about to start a BA in Journalism and Sociology at City University London in September 2010. My blog is where I express myself and post some of my journalism portfolio.

I'm politically liberal, but have little faith in most politicians to do the right thing for humanity, rather than our own selfish borders.

I also write Human Rights articles for the 21st Century Network.
