    Introducing Abbygail Shun

    Hi, I’m Abby! I’m finishing up my final year at the University of Melbourne, where I major in Politics, International Studies and Media Communications. I find international relations and journalism to be intertwined and am so interested in how they are the building blocks of our modern society. I love storytelling and can’t wait to take the passion projects of our participants at Youth Parliament to the world stage. I love travelling and am counting down the days to see the world again. My other hobbies include writing music and listening to T-Swift on repeat.

    I cover the video journalism and social media marketing parts of the Youth Press Gallery. Apart from finding ways to record zoom interviews, I’m also working on a couple general media pieces for Youth Parliament.
