I’m a 23-year-old trainee sports journalist from Malta with a bachelor’s degree in Communications and Italian Studies.

I consider myself to be a sports fanatic with my favourites being F1, MotoGP, and Italian football. I always try and include a sporting event whenever I travel abroad!

With regards to work experience, I worked as a journalist and newscaster with Malta’s No.1 radio station 89.7Bay, and a journalist with the news portal di-ve.com.
