Jane's Design Portfolio
Podcasting
During my time at university, I was offered the opportunity to do a number of podcasts. I had to arrange guests, research interviewees, edit and publish podcasts. Currently, I run The Elevate Podcast, which interviews new and upcoming Northern Irish artists, as well as NIPolicast, which discusses the latest news from Northern Irish politics.
Academic research
During the second year of my Undergraduate degree, I was able to achieve an average of 70% on all modules, allowing myself to be placed on the university's prestigious Deans' List.
Shorthand
During my Master's Degree, I learned Teeline shorthand. I was able to learn this over the course of a year to achieve both the 60 words-per-minute and the 80 words-per-minute speed from the NCTJ. I performed best in this from my class, winning me the Belfast Telegraph Helen Scott Memorial Shorthand Trophy for my efforts.
leadership skills
During my time at Ulster University, I was able to take on the opportunity of society chairperson for the Journalism and Media Society. This taught me the skills needed to take on further leadership opportunities, as well as control finances.
Newswriting/newsgathering
During the summer of 2023, I was given the opportunity of working on a placement at the Belfast Telegraph. I was able to work on stories from multiple genres, including business features, politics, music and sport. This helped me improve both my research and news writing skills.
