: About Me

Hi I'm Richard,Originally from South Africa but living in England now and hoping to pursue the career I studied for about ten years back.

After qualifying as a journalist in 1998 I started to drift away from the idea of becoming one.I guess in a way I had a real block on my writing and I felt really afraid to approach organizations owing to the fact that I had no portfolio to present.Its been ten long years of trying many different jobs in different places,Of struggling to make rent and bills,of meeting new and interesting people and of hard thinking and experiences to make me realize that I want this.

I have the ambition to go far in this profession and hopefully make some positive changes in the future.

Thank you all for the time you will take to read my articles in the future and I promise to support you my newest colleagues to the best of my abilities.

Heres to another great ten years to come!

Regards

Richard
