I recently had the privilege of undertaking a week with the media team at Shrewsbury Town

During this tenure, I crafted articles tailored for various platforms including the official website, social media channels, and matchday programme.

Actively participating in social media management tasks was great and I had the honor of attending press conferences conducted by players and the managerial staff.

I also wrote the match report for the fixture against Oxford United whilst getting the opportunity to venture into the realm of graphic design and Adobe Photoshop.

Can't thank the entire media team enough for the experience.
