Features
Kay Weston NAME: Kay Weston
ROLE: Features Editor
AGE: 20
COURSE: Journalism & German (2nd Year)
ABOUT ME:
I’m a smiley Brummie who likes heavy metal music and plasticine. I also like Noel Fielding, Toffee Crisps, bats and shiny things. I write for several magazines and websites and am heading off to Germany in the Summer to carry on my good work over there. I speak German and Dutch, but I want to add Russian and French to that list and I like to travel. Some of my other interests are world cinema, modern art, current affairs and literature. I’m also addicted to Starbucks; I can’t function before midday without caffeine. I’d describe myself as ambitious, creative, individual and happy. I’m permanently single (through choice, not because nobody wants me!) and when I grow up I want to be a features writer for a magazine. Or an astronaut.

EYE COLOUR:
Grey, or maybe green

WEDNESDAY OR UNITED:
Neither. I’m not a sports person; I’d rather go to a gig than a match…

FAVOURITE COLOUR:
Green

MY PERFECT DAY IS:
… anyday where I get 5 mins to myself, which is pretty much never!

BEST SHEFBASE EXPERIENCE:
Using shefbase as an excuse to meet famous people. Oh and socials.

MARMITE: YES OR NO:
Hell yeah, on everything!
