My name is Zexi from China, I got my bachelor degree in Chinese-English translation and interpreting from Macquarie university.  I am close to 22 years old and have been in Australia for 4 years. It's my first semester studying at UTS. I do not have any  related knowledge and experience in journalism.

I take this unit because I am interested in writing and ideology that  react  upon laws between different countries. I want to make comparisons about the media ethics between Australian and my home country after I finished the course.

See you next week.

Hi everyone, lovely to meet you all. My name is Elfy and I'm in the second semester of my Master's – I'm here to refine my skills, learn how on Earth to navigate video and audio editing, and tell stories in the most engaging ways possible!

I've been working as a freelance columnist and journalist for about four years with articles published in various places (some of them rather weird). I did my undergrad in psychological sciences. I love talking science, pop culture, comedy, feminism, fashion -actually, I just like talking a lot.

I'm a fairly creative person so I stay busy with a lot of projects and I highly doubt I'll ever be the sort of person who could sustain interest in a 9-5 (although hopefully I may eventually grow up).

I will upload an obnoxious modelling photo because it is the only thing currently available on my desktop and I shan't apologise for that.

Hello everyone! My name’s Nicole Joy. I came to UTS from Malaysia to pursue this course. It is my second session here and I’m a keen sponge ready to learn and absorb as much as I can.

My undergraduate degree is in Mass Communications, majoring in Public Relations and Event Management. As much as I love managing events, I love writing and listening to people’s stories even more. Being able to write and express myself is honestly a gift. What better way to make use of that passion than to impact the lives of others by giving them the power to be informed?

I currently have an online website where I post my own articles, which is something I hope could be independently sustainable in the near future. But I still have lots to learn.

An interesting fact about me is that I love tap dancing and dream of opening my own tap dance academy one day :)

I'm Mila. I am here because I want to become a TV/radio journalist working as a correspondent in the pacific area.

I grew up in New Caledonia and I have been  living in New Zealand and Australia the last 6 years.

I always wanted to do a job that could "make a difference". A job you are excited about everyday!
What I love about journalism is the concept of informing people, working on different and interesting topic each day, and through my stories get the chance to have a positive impact on people.

I am just starting my first year of Advanced journalism at UTS. I have previously completed a bachelor of communication majoring in Journalism at Massey University in New Zealand.

I have worked for a TV station based in Tahiti (French Polynesia) during 2 months for a full time internship. It was a great experience, I have been producing TV and radio news reports and I wrote online articles.

Looking forward to meet you all.

Hi, I’m Siyuan, you can call me Camellia.

It’s my first year to learn journalism. Currently, I have no professional knowledge and experience, but I will work hard because I’m interested in journalism.

I began to publish story on newspaper when I was in junior high school. Then I established a Chinese Literature Club named “Ruo Shui” in my senior high school. I also helped to organize, edit and publish the “Ruo Shui Newspaper” quarterly. I majored in Linguistics in my undergraduate study at ANU, learned the relationship between language, communication, culture and society, hope it will be helpful in my future study.

Looking forward to meeting you next week.

Hi I'm Amber and I am starting my first year of Master of Advanced Journalism. I love getting to the bottom of things and want to spend my career getting important stories out there.

I did my undergraduate degree in English and Digital Media at UNSW and COFA. At COFA I spent my time making my own art projects and learning a lot of technical stuff which I am hoping to put to use in this degree and make multimedia content.

I am currently working as a travel journalist at Signature Media, which has been a great opportunity for me to indulge my love of travel. Last year I studied law for a year at Macquarie uni but have since decided I would be better suited to a career in journalism.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Hi I'm Kate - I moved to Australia 10 years ago. I want to do journalism because I love talking to people and sharing their stories, and I get very passionate about things people tell me (strength and weakness haha).

I work as an editor and media liaison at an art consultancy, and freelance write (something I'm hoping to do more of this year).

I don't have selfies but here is a photo that I frantically waved at a friend to take when I was in Jordan last year (which I feel counts).

Hi. I spent my 20s in the army, left to 'go make docos' (which I haven't got close to doing) and have been working as technical crew in broadcast television since. I'm more interested in crafting stories and the journalist side of things so am back studying with the intent of starting a new career at the end of it all. I'm equally interested in broadcast, print and radio journalism so not sure what I'll end up doing. I just read Peter Greste's book The First Casualty, where he covered a lot of areas relevant to this subject. Really great read.

I'm in the final year of my MA in Journalism.

I've just returned from the Foreign Correspondent Study Tour to India with UTS and the Australia-India Council. Absolutely life changing stuff.

I work for News Xtend, part of News Corp, as a digital copywriter and am across all things social, and display and search for the most part.

My background is in anthropology and sociology and I wouldn't be the person I am today without those disciplines.

I hate selfies, apart from when I love them, so here's a selfie worth the squiz. But also not.
