Bachelor of Arts

“I studied a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Journalism and Communication at Bond University.

I chose to study at Bond as I was awarded the John Burton Cadetship Scholarship, that allowed me to work as a Journalist at the Gold Coast Bulletin for three months.

I enjoyed my time at Bond University and thank my Professors for always treating me as a person, rather than a number - which often happens at large universities.While at Bond I was fortunate enough to receive a News Limited Cadetship which allowed me to work at the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong.

The three months at the South China Morning Post was a fantastic experience!I am currently the Director and Owner of Wings Public Relations and am responsible for all aspects of the firm.

I manage people, conduct business development, liaise and support clients and overall all public relation activities including media management and social media.I recommend undertaking a well-rounded degree at Bond - I did some French and Law subjects and found they gave me a bit of edge when out the 'real world' and my studies have helped me get to where I am today.”
