Why did you choose the Global Academy?

I’ve always been Radio Radio Radio…. Radio is always what I’ve wanted to do. When the Global Academy was announced, it just made sense that it’s where I should go to get where I want to go. Clearly it’s paid off!

How did the Global Academy help you prepare for your new role?

All our tasks have always been focused around real life assignments. I’m looking forward to putting all my skills into practice and use the expertise that the Academy has given me

What are you most looking forward to when beginning your new role?

Just being in the Global building… It’s a company I’ve dreamed of working at for a good chunk of my life. To work with talent I’ve looked up to all my life, to now call them my colleagues, it’s an awesome thing!!!

What advice would you give to students following in your footsteps?

Never stop trying. I emailed tonnes of companies looking for experience, you’ll get so many no’s, all it takes is that one company to say yes to put you ahead of everyone else in the future. You get to learn your craft.
