Summary
Hello folks! My name is Shanique I'm a 21 year-old trainee journalist in London. I have a keen interest in radio and have worked with LBC, Heart Fm and BBC to name but a few. I am also a great fan of magazines especially the girly ones like Cosmopolitan, Woman and Prima all of which I have had the pleasure of working for too. At 15 I got first hands-on experience in the media industry working with BBC's 5:19 show and have not looked back since. I love the fact that with journalism the job is always changing there's new stories to write about and new things to learn. I am certain my past experiences will make me a great candidate for any media related job.
