This is a huge step in her career, so we spoke to her to see how she’s feeling about it.

“I’m really excited to be starting in Plymouth, but I definitely wouldn’t have had the confidence had I not had experience with Platform and my local newspapers”, she told us.

Platform has been such a great opportunity for me and has really helped give me an edge in interviews.”

“It’s definitely a sign to employers that you’re dedicated and interested in journalism even if you don’t do it as a course already.”
