Hi! I am Asima Connolly.

I’m an aspiring digital marketing expert, creative writer, content creator, and beyond!

Who I Am

I’m Asima Connolly. 

I’m a creative individual with a BA degree in English and Media, and I am now seeking to pursue a career in digital marketing/media. 

I have acquired knowledge and experience from completing internships/placements, and I want to further develop my skills.

In my spare time, I like to channel my creativity by writing short stories, creating music, and learning new skills. 

Currently I work as a Community Radio Broadcaster as part of my internship with Innovation Nottingham. 

My Career

I have completed various placements and creative internships to build my work experience and expand my knowledge. I participated in a digital marketing internship with Mindless Academy and currently I am partaking in an internship with Innovation Nottingham.

Moreover, I have international experience living and working in both Canada and Taiwan, developing cultural awareness and acquiring new skills. During my time in Taiwan, I focussed on both learning Mandarin and tutoring students in English. I adapted well into Taiwanese society and explored the culture as I love to learn about our world. 

Some of the works I have completed can be found in my portfolio. These consist of snippets I produced for Takeover Radio 106.9, blog posts for Mindless Blog, and more.

Education

Students graduating and throwing their hats in the air.

My deep-rooted love for storytelling and passion for media is what motivated me to pursue a degree in English and Media. 

The three years I studied at Nottingham Trent University helped in shaping my younger, impressionable self to become the inquisitive person I am today. 

Through studying this course, I developed an interest in marketing and I would like to pursue this further.

Creative Writing Projects

Creative writing is my very first love. I was 7 years old when I discovered this passion. It has stuck with me since. 

I was always the child who stayed behind to read stories and novels, often finding myself lost in fantasy worlds and different lives. It was impossible to get me out of the trance once I was in.

Paper has seen the holiest of secrets, the most joyous emotions we feel, and the deepest, darkest pits of sadness we endure.

My ultimate goal as a writer is to inspire others to search deeper within themselves, and continue the introspective journey towards self-discovery and acceptance.
