This election has been much more about the individual candidates than any I have been involved in before. So, articles like this one are a good way for people to learn more about me and what I would do as mayor.

Another one I’m proud to have worked on during a work placement. It’s sad to see how often women’s pain is dismissed. Hopefully as more people speak out some changes will be made.

I’m happy to see my story published, even if I don’t get credit for it.
It’s frustrating that an agency would offer work placements and not have a solution when their editor gets the byline instead of the student who brought in and wrote the story.
