Hello again! After concluding my internship with the Burdekin Life Newspaper in early March, I was more than grateful to receive a phone call offering me the opportunity to come back and undertake a cadetship! Throughout my time working alongside Sam and the team, I fell further in love with print journalism and solidified my passion for sharing people’s stories through my work and I am beyond excited to pick up where I left off.
As I near the end of my Bachelor of Communications and Journalism degree, I find myself searching for more opportunities to continue building upon my journalistic skills. It'll come as no surprise to anyone who knows me, but I love to keep busy! As well as prioritizing my studies, and producing additional written pieces, I’ve dabbled in the world of content creation, media management, website development, and have even pitched myself to Vogue! When I’m not immersing myself in all thing’s communication, public relations, and journalism at either Griffith Universities’ Gold Coast or Brisbane campuses, I have been working with and applying to additional organizations for internships and experience. Currently, I hold a position with The Good Guide, a “luxury lifestyle guide” based in both Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. My role entails creating written blog style articles on everything from cheese festivals to where to buy an iced strawberry matcha latte!
After graduating from Ayr State High School in 2021 and setting off to Brisbane as soon as 2022 began, I never imagined I would be writing for my local newspaper from the opposite end of the state, but here I am, and I have been loving every second! In re-joining the Burdekin Life team, I am eager to continue learning, growing my skillsets, and building upon my abilities as a journalist, and I can guarantee you, you’ll see my name in Vogue one day! I am forever grateful for the opportunities I have been granted and honestly cannot wait to continue sharing stories with the Burdekin Life Newspaper.
