Hey, I’m Lauren. Trust me I’m slightly more interesting than the title I was able to come up with for this post. But like I said, only slightly, so don’t set the bar too high.
I’ve lived in Jamberoo all 20 years of my life. No, I’ve never milked a cow or married one of my cousins and last time I checked I only had ten toes. I attended Jamberoo Public School growing up before I moved to Shellharbour Anglican College (SAC, funny right?) for the remainder of high school. I graduated in 2011 which was a whole three years ago, following which I threw my life away and have been studying a bachelor of Journalism ever since.
In my first year of uni I picked up a marketing job with football club, Sydney FC. Here I began their match day program ‘The Sky Blue Preview’ which I wrote, designed, edited and produced. This year I decided to pick up at BCM with a Marketing and Advertising major due to my love of the job I was in.
Starting from scratch again with all these first years makes me feel incredibly old and I’m pretty sure I found a wrinkle this morning. This shouldn’t be happening yet!
This year for me is looking pretty exciting, I’m going overseas for the first time despite my crippling fear of flying and later in the year will be pursuing my love for current affairs and newsroom journalism with a work-integrated scholarship at the Illawarra Mercury.
After working for Sydney FC and getting the taste for corporate marketing and publicity, I can confidently say that’s where I’d love to be in five years time. But who knows, I might take a liking to this flying thing and end up a pilot, Tom Cruise watch your back.
First Year Again.
