I can proudly say I'm a journalist at the Sunbury and Macedon Ranges Star Weekly Newspaper. When I received the phone call saying I was successful in getting the job, I told myself that all the work I've done at university has sure enough paid off. I have to thank La Trobe for giving me the education and experience I needed to secure a full-time position as soon as my degree was over.
