My story

I went into uni thinking I wanted to work in marketing but ended up loving the other half of my degree — media and communications. I found myself knocking at TDA’s door to combine my love for social media and storytelling with the day-to-day news.

What I'm proud of

Being able to jump between writing an article and editing a video, depending on what the story called for. Oh, and every time I successfully came up with emoji combinations for TDA’s Picture This game!
