Rhonan Colquhoun
My passion for writing branched from my love of Motorsport. As an avid viewer of the spectacle, I realised during my teenage years that there could be a possibility that I could turn my hobby into a professional job in the industry.
I started my own online blog when I was just 15 years old - writing constantly about Formula One and what was developing in that year's championship. I was now on the trajectory of becoming a Journalist.
Going through school and attending College, studying Journalism, my writing has progressed and my broad knowledge of Journalism has expanded but one thing is still certain - I still want to become a Motorsport Journalist. This website showcases my work, passion and drive to achieve my dream.

During College, I contributed to City of Glasgow's Journalism website which was run by students. As well as working towards my HND, I wrote articles, attended meetings, sub-edited articles, took part in editorial discussions and played a key role in the website.
After my work experience with my local Newspaper, I wanted to get my articles seen by more people. My blog on WordPress was going well but I wanted to be part of a team who focused soley on Motorsport. I wrote articles, help manage the website, live reporting via social media and contributed to discussions with the editorial team.
During the middle of High School, I jumped at the chance of taking work experience with my local Newspaper. For a day a week for six months, I learned how a local Newspaper operated, the importance of local Journalism and the basics of the Industry. My first article was published on the 16th of February 2016 and following that, an article a week with my name attached to it became a common occurance.
