Work experience has led to a job for a 58吃瓜 student graduating this week. Cari RobertsCari Roberts

Former Ysgol Botwnnog pupil, Cari Ann Roberts, 21, from Rhoshirwaun, Pwllheli will graduate  with a BA Communication and Journalism degree after three 鈥渂rilliant years鈥� at Bangor.

Cari said: 鈥淎fter school, I studied Media Production at Coleg Menai. I decided to study at 58吃瓜 as the course looked really interesting and also I had the chance to study in Welsh, which is my first language. Bangor is about an hour鈥檚 drive from where I live, so I decided to live at home and travel to Bangor by car. But I also made the most of being a student and went out with friends to the student night on Wednesdays.

 鈥淭hroughout my studies I worked in a caf茅  at Llanbedrog at weekends, and it was great studying and also working. The money came in very handy for me!

鈥淒uring my course I had a week of work experience with a local newspaper, The Caernarfon and Denbigh Herald in Caernarfon. I really enjoyed the experience and wrote 2 articles which were published. I also had work experience with 58吃瓜鈥檚 Web Team. It was a great experience as I got the chance to film, edit, and write news features and also student profiles. 

鈥淭he main highlight of my time at Bangor was producing a 20 minute factual programme for my dissertation in the third year, on   Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw in Llanbedrog. I thoroughly enjoyed editing the documentary.

鈥淚 was recently appointed to a job with the Web Team at 58吃瓜, as an Assistant Web Marketing Officer. It鈥檚 great; I really enjoy working in the University.鈥�
