Cari Roberts
Former Ysgol Botwnnog pupil, Cari Ann Roberts, 21, from Rhoshirwaun, Pwllheli will graduate with a BA Communication and Journalism degree after three âbrilliant yearsâ at Bangor.
Cari said: âAfter school, I studied Media Production at Coleg Menai. I decided to study at Âé¶čAV 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 hourâs 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.
âThroughout my studies I worked in a cafĂ© at Llanbedrog at weekends, and it was great studying and also working. The money came in very handy for me!
âDuring 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 Âé¶čAVâs Web Team. It was a great experience as I got the chance to film, edit, and write news features and also student profiles.
âThe 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.
âI was recently appointed to a job with the Web Team at Âé¶čAV, as an Assistant Web Marketing Officer. Itâs great; I really enjoy working in the University.â
