About Freya...

Who am I?

"Freya is a Communications Co-ordinator, communicating messages and information to her colleagues and to external organisations.Freya is a friendly, organised and sympathetic individual. These are key traits required for her job which involves you being friendly and sympathetic to gain a rapport with the individuals you are interviewing and communicating with. Naturally, Freya sees herself as the ‘Communicator’ type who can easily relate to people and form good relationships with them. In addition, much of Freya’s work involves getting to the bottom of the story when working on press releases, which emphasises the ‘Explorer’ side of her personality. "

What do I do?

"As a Communications Co-ordinator, Freya prepares and circulates messages and new stories to the business internally using videos, web pages and other forms of communication. In addition to this she also writes news and press releases to external audiences such as the media. Freya works for a global civil engineering company and there are lots of opportunities to write useful and interesting stories – these may be about new projects, new and safer ways of working, training and volunteering activities. It is important to keep the public informed about the work the company does, so they can see that projects will be of benefit to communities, that the company is environmentally aware, and that it is a great place to work.A typical day for Freya will involve liaising with the Press, contacts and people in business. Sometimes she gets the opportunities to go out filming. Freya is responsible for the social media page and website of her company. This involves lots of writing, reading and communicating. Freya loves the variety of her work as no project is the same and there’s always fun investigating news to get to the bottom of the story! "

How did I get here?

"Originally Freya did a Journalism degree at University as her brother inspired her to choose that route. When she joined BAM Nuttall, which is a civil engineering company, Freya changed to doing Public Relations as she enjoys writing, forming opinions on current affairs and takes interest in what is going on in the world. Now, she is a Communications Co-ordinator studying a PR Diploma. In the future, Freya would love be Head of her own Communications department.Freya’s starting salary as a PR Assistant was £22,000."

The life I live

"Freya loves to travel to new places and sightsee. When she is at home she enjoys catching up with her friends, going to the cinema, dinner out and shopping! To keep active Freya loves going to the gym and doing long distance walks. An interesting fact about Freya is that she once interviewed top Channel 4 news journalists – Jon Snow, Cathy Newman and Alex Thomson, all for her university dissertation! "
