Boushra Elkheir
Sydney,NSW
Summary
I have been working with the ABC’s audio team as an intern while completing my double degree in Journalism and Law at the University of Technology Sydney. This experience along with working as a paralegal, has given me the skills necessary to research complex topics, turn them into news stories and work independently. As a fluent Arabic speaker, I have a deep interest in international news and aim to become a foreign correspondent.
