Hi, my name is Sumaya and in 2022 I completed my work experience at Eastside Radio. When I came to Eastside, I didn’t have many skills in broadcasting or media, but I was extremely passionate about my interest in media, which was key during my week. At Eastside, I learned how to operate a radio booth, create promotional content and more about the behind-the-scenes work in the broadcasting industry.

- Pre-recorded a broadcast about a topic of my choice
