The most remarkable part, she\u2019s only 22.\r\nCarrington has always had a passion for photography and filmmaking but year 12 at St Brigid's College Horsham didn\u2019t pan out the way she anticipated. Her short film for Tropfest wasn\u2019t shortlisted and she didn\u2019t get her first round university offer. So Carrington chose to defer her place at Deakin University and take up a hairdressing apprentice.\r\nSix months in, Carrington knew hairdressing wasn\u2019t where her heart lay. With the support of her boss and family, she moved to Bendigo.\r\nIt was a last minute shift change at a restaurant in Bendigo, that Carrington met tv journalist Sarah Lawrence who extended an invitation for Carrington to visit the 9 News Central Victoria studio. Carrington got her foot in the door and now... her days revolve around churning out high-quality, local news interviews, stories and packages.\r\nCarrington shares with us her story of persistence and hard work, and why she believes everything happen for a reason.\r\nMeet my friend Carrington from 9 News Central Victoria.\r\n###\r\nStay social and connect with OAK Magazine on https://www.facebook.com/oakmagazineau (Facebook) and https://www.instagram.com/oakmagazineau (Instagram).\r\nFor more inspiring stories, visit https://www.oakmagazine.com.au/ (OAK Magazine website).\r\nHosted by Kimberley Furness, Founder + Editor, OAK Magazine.\r\n\r\n\r\nThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: \r\n\r\nChartable - https://chartable.com/privacy\n\n--- \n\nSend in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/afriendofmine/message","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/f63c5105-ee9e-44a4-92f6-f6159883b750/3051b75ecc865d6f.jpeg"}
