About Me

Well as you know, my name is Dionne! After graduating from university with a degree in Film & Broadcast Production I went on to work on the newsdesk at The Voice Newspaper where I remained for some time. Although I still frequently write for the paper, I have now taken on a new role at Young Voices, a magazine within The Voice Group. At present I am the Young Voices Co-ordinator - a stressful job but I love it. I get to meet and work with some great people - especially my YV Team...love you guys! I'm a kool girl - I don't take myself too seriously (except when I'm on dealine - I'm sure my peeps will agree!) and I enjoy a challenge - except MySpace! lol!It's taken me quite a while to get used to this MySpace thing but I'm getting better...watch this space (not anytime soon though! lol) If you have any useful tips please let me know... Send me a message, leave me a comment or just browse through my page (I have those days!)...for those of you that communicate I'll do the same! If you have any questions regarding Young Voices you can also send me a line. Alternatively, you can visit YV's website: WWW.YOUNG-VOICES.CO.UK or YV's MySpace Page - My top friend! Speak soon xx
