About

I have graduated with a Broadcast Journalism degree and I'm an aspiring radio presenter. I have experience working with BBC Radio 1, where I guest presented Radio 1's Asian Beats in 2019, as part of their Christmas Schedule. I started out presenting on  student radio, where I won Silver Best Specialist Programming at the Student Radio Awards 2019. Currently, I present a show on Switch Radio, which is a community radio station in Birmingham. I am also hosting a podcast and video series with DESIblitz.
