Having helped to organise and manage cricket logistics during the 2017 season, including a two-week pre-season tour to South Africa and being part of away trips, I was given a formal extension to my role as Communications Manager. With previous experience in accreditation, fixtures, conducting and overseeing performance analysis, and other parts of cricket operations, the new parts of my role include helping LCCC's cricket department as follows:1. Day to day logistics during the season2. General administration in the close season, i.e. planning for away fixtures, helping to organise Second XI fixtures and home venues, registration forms, cricket ball ordering, etc3. General supportI have also maintained my previous role as Communications Manager, including overseeing the club's website, social media streams, press releases and publications such as the Yearbook. I deal with media requests and look after the media on matchdays at LCCC. I had the valuable experience of being Venue Media Manager (VMM) at Grace Road during the ICC Women's World Cup of 2017 which allowed me to learn about the key workings of an international tournament. I sampled an ICC Champions Trophy match between Australia and New Zealand in the media centre at Edgbaston as part of that process.

Having worked on a freelance basis for seven seasons at the club, I was offered the permanent position of Communications Manager at Leicestershire County Cricket Club. The role has the three aspects I value the most - it continues to be enjoyable, challenging and highly variable. My role combines putting together strategy for the Marketing & Communications Department alongside the Marketing Manager with the day-to-day maintenance of the club website, all social media channels and e-communications to ensure Members and supporters are updated with the very latest news from the club. I also work closely with the media to ensure they are informed and have an enjoyable experience when they come to Grace Road. I write press releases, produce scorecards, edit the yearbook, keep the club's official statistics up to date and am still a part of the performance analysis department. I work with all sections of the club and have therefore formed a lot of relationships and gained a wide range of experience in a number of different areas.

I started working on a freelance basis in the role of Press Officer in April 2008 and the duties of Team Analyst were added to that in 2009. My main duties were maintenance of the club website, keeping the social media channels up to date, editing the yearbook and writing press releases. I also learnt how to use the Cricstat and Feedback Cricket analysis software and am experienced in using both systems.

This role involved me going to lectures and taking notes to help students. The lecture content varied greatly and involved anything from quantum physics to psychology and gender. The job also involved administration work in an office setting.

I started work as a news reporter immediately after completing my postgraduate diploma and that offered me a real insight into the profession. I then decided to look for a route into sport journalism. I provided cover for the sports department for a period of time, including covering press conferences at Leicester City and Leicester Tigers. I then carried on in the freelance role of local rugby correspondent and also covered some local football in that time.
