The Untold Truth of Sports Supplements
This was a news piece that I created for a university assessment to cover the unfolding issue of sports supplements within Australia. For this assignment, we were required to create a piece that could be put into a current news coverage, using skills such as recording overlay, recording a piece to camera, and writing and recording our own script for the story. As such, I decided to look into an ongoing issue within the sporting supplements industry, where local manufactures are subjected to harsher laws and regulations than companies that manufacture internationally. For this piece, I received 33 out of 35, which equates to a high distinction.

A Destructive Paradise
This piece was created for a multimedia subject at university, asking us to create a radio piece that is newsworthy and current to our media today.

Kurt and Sofie Moore, and Anne-Marie Lyell provide detailed accounts of the damaging winds, torrential rain and the destruction that was left following Debbie's wrath. For this assignment, I received 32/35, which equates to a 6/7
