A: I got a job as a trainee reporter for The Courier, which is based in Dundee, which was very close to my university [Saint Andrews]. I had that job for a year, when I learnt shorthand and other skills in journalism, but now I do more opinion writing. Q: Why did you decide to move to Scotland? A: My mother is Scottish, but once I graduated there was a job offer in Edinburgh, so I decided to move there. Q: When you were a junior reporter for The Courier, did you face many challenges? A: The company, of course, was based in Dundee, so it was an entirely new place for me and I didn't know anyone there. It also took time to be integrated into the commu- nities. Q: What do you think is the most underreported story in the news? A: I think that a lot of foreign news is very underreported, as a foreign correspondent is very expensive and there is a lack of interest from readers. Q: Do you have a favourite teacher? A: All of my teachers were really kind and helpful, I genuinely have very fond memo- ries of being at this school.
Q: Any tips for joining the Middle School? A: One thing you should know is that school gets better the older you get. Q: Favourite school lunch? A: I remember having lots of chips and baked beans!
