- A wee bit about me
Firsly, the obvious. I’m Karen Asbury and I’m known to my close friends as Ginge. I’m a journalism student & a workaholic. I take pride in the fact that I am different. I was always taught that to follow the crowd, was a sign of weakness, and so I i’ll always choose originality over what’s common. You may/may not find that a good quality, but my experience has shown me that new thinking keeping things fresh. And when doing previous work on placements at magazines, and also on assessment at university, it was originality that have won me big points. I don’t believe in changing things for the hell of it, but I am a strong believer in that everything and everyone deserves an input and an opinion.
- Experience
I have put an enormous amount of hours into student media, and I did it for one reason. Because I wanted to.
For the same reason, I’m running for Media Officer. I love writing, publishing, filming, editing, the lot. If you want to read a little more about my relevant experience for this position, read my manifesto here.
