Whilst at university, I expanded my horizons beyond motorsport as the sport editor of Concrete, UEA's student newspaper, developing essential editorial and Adobe InDesign skills covering football, ice hockey and everything in-between, with special emphasis on the Summer of Sport supplement and Derby Day special edition.
