I found out about The National Student after sitting next to my good friend Joe Rindl in a lecture. As explained to him that I want to gain specific experience writing about all things technology, Joe explained that I should consider applying for The National Student contributors’ programme. The fact that I could get actual tech journalism experience was like striking gold. Being able to write about my passion is what makes The National Student so special to me.

The National Student provided me with an abundance of opportunities - especially considering I have only been a contributor for a year. I have had two phones sent to me by the manufacturer for review, attended a phone launch, been sent a wireless charger, tested software - some of which I did not expect to be doing so early on in my career.You might also like...
