Summary
I'm a 19-year-old aspiring Journalist who is studying a Bachelor of Journalism at Bond University with a deep-rooted love for storytelling, weather, and photography. As an Australian growing up in a small UK town, I found my passion behind the lens, earning national awards for my weather photography by age 14. My travels across Europe have enriched my perspective, fueling my dream of becoming a reporter. Now back on the Gold Coast, I keep my passion alive by sharing weather updates and photos on Instagram. Volunteering at media events has only deepened my commitment to journalism. Currently, I'm taking time o university to dive into real-world experiences.
