Episode 31 sees us delve into the world of journalism and presenting as I speak to Sophie Wallace
Sophie is a journalist and a news presenter for STV News and I'm pretty sure you would have seen one of her news bulletins over the past few months, delighted that Sophie agreed to come on and talk to me about her career so far, we discuss loads of subjects on this episode including
- How Sophie realised she wanted to work in journalism
- Her first early break
- University and working alongside studies
- Work Experience and how presenting became part of the journey
- Getting her break at STV
- Dealing with setbacks of being unsuccessful for roles
- Entering Miss Scotland twice!!
- Encouragement for anyone looking to work in media industry
- That 'Barlinnie' news update 😂
- Listeners Questions
Really good episode and one I'd imagine kids at school leaving age will take a keen interest in who want to pursue a career in journalism, Sophie speaks openly and honestly about her career to date, it's fair to say you need to be prepared to put the graft in and this episode will give you a good starter for planning your own journey ☺️
