This is the first of what I hope will be many blog posts. And to start, what better topic than me.
I am currently in my third year at the University of Western Sydney, where I am studying Journalism and Advertising. The decision to study Journalism was made at age 10 when I wrote my first article (sadly it was on Princess Diana’s death; happily I received a lot of positive attention at school for it). It was at this time that I received my first official nickname, Kelly-Anne. This my fellow fourth graders chose because it paralleled the only media personality they knew at the time, Kerry Anne. A decade on, I still love writing and I still put on phony news presenter accents but thankfully I am no longer referred to as the hillbilly-sounding, Kelly Anne.
As well as loving news, be it hard or entertaining, I love cars, football (real football… AFL), and mafia movies.
My dream is to work for a country radio station, or newspaper, and one day, I would love to have my own column. In the meantime however, I will stick to blogging.
Have an awesome week!
