I am a dedicated journalist with a passion for getting out and telling the stories of the people who feel like they don’t have a voice. I conduct myself in a professional and dedicated manner in and out of the newsroom. I believe over the time spent at Broadcasting school, I have learned several skills in different media formats that would be of value in any real world. Being a young reporter I am willing to develop my skills and challenge myself further as I head into a professional organisation.
