Graduated  with  a  Bachelor  of  Professional  Communication  from  RMIT  in  December  2013.  Throughout  the  three  years  of  my  degree  I  gained  skills  and  experience  in  print  journalism,  public  relations,  marketing,  radio  journalism  &  production  and  television  journalism  &  production.  Since  then  I  have  continued  to  gain  experience  wherever  I  can,  using  my  passions  for  music,  sport  and  discovering  new  things  to  fuel  my  writing.  You  can  usually  find  me  at  a  gig,  in  a  radio  studio  or  hiding  behind  a  mug  of  coffee.
