I have long been interested in sport and writing, and with these two interests in mind I was encouraged from a young age to become a sports journalist. After doing two weeks of work experience in Year 10, I went on to become a cadet journalist covering sports and agricultural news at my local newspaper The Monaro Post, the local paper for Cooma and surrounding towns. With a years’ experience under my belt I am looking forward to studying this further through the JRNL101 course here at UOW.
