Maryam won the 2022 BAFTA Young Presenter competition’s 15-18 category. She was a two-time BAFTA Young Presenter finalist before winning and is hugely passionate about spoken word, poetry and literature, as well as music and pop culture. Her first project as a BAFTA Young Presenter saw her introducing live events in front of hundreds of people and interviewing Horrible Histories writer and podcaster Greg Jenner.

Since then, Maryam has been interviewing on the red carpet at the BAFTA Children and Young People Awards and BAFTA TV Awards. She also had the opportunity to  interview BBC Radio 1 DJ, Clara Amfo, to support Children’s Mental Health Week.
