Tena koe, ko Mckenzie Jennings toku ingoa. I'm a second year journalism student with a passion for all things news and current affairs.
I am enthusiastic about all forms of journalism and enjoy investigating and sharing stories. I am eager to learn more about the journalism industry and gain knowledge from working out in the field.
Working under pressure is something I thrive in and I am confident that my organisational skills, drive and people skills will be a valuable asset to any newsroom.
I believe journalism will teach me life skills that a normal 9-5 job won't and that in itself excites me.
