Introducing Leonora Ashby-Parkin

Radio knowledge and work experience

My main interest is in Radio and the course I have just finished has allowed me to develop my creative talents (making jingles and adverts), as well as learn new design programmes (Quark Xpress, adobe Photoshope, Dreamweaver). I have been involved with my student radio station RARE fm, my university magazine Pi and hospital radio. I have also worked alongside the producers on BBC Southern Counties breakfast shows. To gain more experience I have presented shows on various RSL's as well (Avenues fm and TLS fm) and am currently co-hosting the breakfast show on Life fm, (101.4fm / www.lifefm.org.uk) If I’m passionate about something, I will get involved.

My paid experience to date has involved a lot of administrational work, therefore, I have no problem dealing with colleagues or clients in the workplace. I have never had problems prioritising my workloads nor multitasking either. In fact, I like to keep busy at all times, but this in no way reflects the standard of my work. In fact, I strive for perfection every time; even if cannot get it! I am diligent and know how to stay focused on a task and see it through to completion. I am very outgoing and am always willing to help out should a problem arise.
