About

Hi! I’m Joshua – a MA Security postgraduate and TV director, producer and presenter.

I graduated in 2020 with a First Class degree in Politics, and have since progressed to a Masters’ Course in Security – which encompasses national and international defence, peacebuilding, diplomacy, intelligence and warfare.

I am also a nationally recognised television presenter, producer, and director for LSUTV (part of LSU Media), working on award-winning shows such as Fight Night, and nationally shortlisted shows such as Stuff in Luff and The Soapbox. I’m also the host and producer of various shows on the radio station LCR, being named as one of the top 5 On-Screen Presenters in the UK at the 2019 NaSTA awards, with a spot on the highly coveted shortlist for the award. During my tenure as Station Manager I brought back a converted ‘Best Broadcaster’ Award, as well as 5 other recognitions.

I also sit as the Chair of the Loughborough SU Democracy and Representation Committee, which scrutinises the organisation’s policies, constitution and Executive Team, ensuring democratic accountability. As part of this responsibility I also sit as a Trustee,helping to oversee the management of one of the top Students’ Unions in the country.

Previously I have worked in the House of Lords as a Research and Communications Assistant, and I was formerly the elected Procedures Group Representative for the South East at the UK Youth Parliament, where I had responsibility for the Members of Youth Parliament in that region, for organising events, and facilitating the procedure and structure of the organisation. Prior to this, I was successfully elected as the Member of Youth Parliament for Kent and have given evidence to the Youth Select Committee.

An Old Maidstonian, I studied A-Levels in History, Classical Civilisation, Politics and Economics and was the Vice-Captain of Maidstone Grammar School, and now read Politics at Loughborough University, where I also sit as the Course Representative.
