Awards

Student Radio Awards

2019 - Best Journalistic Programming

I initiated an investigation into the student housing crisis at Durham University which resulted in producing tangible change by challenging the University to discuss freezing housing release dates to later in the year thus alleviating stress on new students. For this investigation, I won the ‘Best Journalist Programme’ at the Student Radio Awards in November 2019.
