 I think the coolest thing I've done in my degree thus far would have to be interning at Bleach. I'm doing a lot of marketing stuff, a lot of on-site event work as well, which is really interesting to me because my passion lies in events and live music, so this was just the perfect internship for me. I'm Julia, I'm studying Public Relations, Communications and Journalism at Griffith University. I've been studying at Griffith for three years now. On the side I am a radio announcer at a local community station. I've been with them for about four years now and I'm also a local photographer and videographer. The thing I've enjoyed most at Bleach is working with like-minded people who all have the same passion for live music and events as I do. It's been really cool to network, meet a bunch of new people and just be surrounded by a lot of industry knowledge. I think practical experience is so important throughout this degree. Obviously in university you do a lot of theory work, a lot of practical stuff as well, but the industry internship really gives you an insight of what it's like to work in a real workplace. You gain confidence in what you're doing and you're able to apply all the knowledge that you learnt throughout your degree into the workplace and make some fantastic networks. Being in a workplace and really learning all the ins and outs of what to do in events, in festivals and live music has been so rewarding for me and I can't wait to keep going in the future. Whether that's in festivals, whether that's touring with artists, artist management, I really have a passion for it all and I think that I've been well equipped at Griffith to get where I want to go.
