2020 - we made it! What a year its been. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are overwhelmed by all of the support we have received since November. We have never felt so welcomed in the journo community and have both found our purpose again after finishing our degrees. The last three months have been a massive learning curve for us and we wouldn’t change it for the world; we love our NN community. We have so many plans for 2021 and we hope you have too. Top tip from us before the year ends: Don’t be too hard on yourself, believe in yourself and write that pitch! If you don’t try, you’ll never know! Try not to be afraid of rejection/failure, take one step at a time and do it :). We wish you all the best for 2021, take one step at a time and we’ll grow together! Until next year, best wishes from Katie B and Katie W. Northern Natter is recorded via Zoom from Scotland and Northern England.

Cian interviews someone who took an usual career path, usually starting with doing a degree in one area before working in another.
