Well that was an experience! I’ve never worn makeup before and my heart was racing for the interview. I hope me being involved and talking about my career and autism can inspire others with their careers. Thanks a lot for the support everyone ❤️ #AutismAwarenessDay #Autism

Great couple of days away on the annual USW photojournalism trip to London! My last one before graduation. 🎓 We picked up tips from the picture editor of the Guardian before a chat in Parliament with Cardiff MP Jo Stevens and a BBC reporter and cameraman on top of some tourism.

Ah gutted not to have won but still immensely proud to have made the WMA’s shortlist whilst still a #photoJstudent at the time. 📷 I’ve made friends for life through covering the footy in Wales. ⚽️ Diolch Clwb!

Into the night, a scrappy game in parts with a penalty for either side. The Students leave the field victorious, leaving Penybont a lot to learn from. 📸⚽ Final score at the Kymco Stadium: Penybont FC 1-3 Cardiff Met Uni FC Match report: @YClwbPelDroed

Looking at virtual gallery spaces for Uni. I’m loving the website Artsteps. 📷 Who would come to see our end of year show like this? It’s phone and computer friendly. 📱 💻
