am a digital native. This means I am creatively interested in all things digital content. I have experience in producing Internet-specific videos for events company I Like To Party, and also UniAdvice, the marketing department for the University of Wollongong. Spending time developing this content also led me to take control of various blog platforms for UniAdvice, as well as provide Social Media advice to them, with better engaging their audience as a key target. My experience with Social Media extends to marketing campaigns and events promotion within the marketing company Deconstructed, within which I was promoted to the paid position of Marketing Assistant on completion of my internship.
