ABOUT ME
I've known for quite some time that what I wanted to persue as a career would be something in the journalism field. I am most interested in television journalism, mainly as it allows me to become acquainted with many of the other journalism fields such as writing, radio, photography and even design.
​
I work hard and pay careful attention to detail. I am a quick learner and a problem solver. Having done a four-year degree in Journalism, I have learnt to work well in groups and enjoy working with people.
