SMLC Spotlight: Hanna Ward

What did you study at Warwick?

I graduated in 2020 with a first-class degree in French with Theatre Studies.

What are you doing now?

Since graduation, I have been working as journalist for national broadcasters including Times Radio and the BBC. I am now a Journalist at the BBC's Today programme, working with the most well-known voices in British broadcasting and producing content for around 6 million weekly listeners. As one of the only French speakers on the team, I am frequently calling and organising interviews with French speakers from across the world - it is much easier to get them to agree to speak to us by emailing or calling them in French! Every day is different in my job and there is the chance to go abroad and use my language skills when big global events happen.
