Hello, I am Bethan, the Editor in Chief this year and I have been involved on The Waterfront for the past year as a section editor. I am a third year English Literature and History student so writing really is my main hobby! My dream job is to work in editorial and publishing. My goals for this year are to increase the profile of The Waterfront and create a newspaper that really is for and by students. I want to produce content that is about real student issues and interests so please help us make a newspaper for you!
Hi, I’m Alex and I’m the new Deputy Editor for the Waterfront. My job is more of a jack-of-all-trades role than the others on the team. I’m the Editor-in-Chief’s right-hand so anything that she can delegate will fall to me. That could be following up on writers as we near deadlines or it could be getting in touch with people who we think could feature in the paper. If you have any questions about being a contributing writer or photograph, I’m happy to answer any and all questions. Here’s to a fantastic year! (waterfrontdeputyeditor@swanseastudentmedia.com)
Heya, I’m Angie and I am also (surprise!) a third year English Literature student.

I can’t wait to help people with their work and am excited to read the things everyone sends in to us!
I’m Brooke and I’m studying my third year in English Literature with Gender Studies. I’m going to also be proofreading for the paper and hopefully having more input in the university community. I’m so excited to be involved!
Hello! My name is Cora-Jane and I will be the Arts and Culture editor for another year! I am a third year History and Politics student.

I’m Efan, and I’ll be covering sports news from around the University for the 2020/21 academic year. I’m a third year Media student with an interest in sports journalism.

I’m Bethan, 20, and I’m in my final year studying English Literature at Swansea University. I am taking up the role of Advice and Relationships as part of The Waterfront. As it’s my final year in uni, I want to write some pieces informing other students about worries and questions I had as a Fresher. I want to provide an opportunity for people to request advice and help regarding different themes, from joining societies and making friends to living on a student budget. Aside from this, I want to welcome people to write their own pieces if they feel that they have advice to offer about their own topics. I can’t wait to get started!

I can’t wait to get started with Waterfront and share my ideas with you all!

As the fashion editor I want to create a fun environment by experimenting and trying new things when it comes to fashion.

Hey! I’m Cat, the new music editor and official photographer! I’m currently studying an MA in Communications, Media Practice and Public Relations. Music and photography have both been major hobbies in my life, alongside, gaming and design. I love attending festivals/concerts as often possible and I’m also a singer and guitarist in a band.
With my position as a music editor, one aspect of the music industry I want to highlight is how we can all support music venues, musicians, and other music-based institutions during this weird time of COVID-19. As for my photography position I want to take as many photographs of the limited events that are going ahead, to show as many of you as possible the ways in which you can enjoy your student life – even during a pandemic.
If you’re interested in writing for the music section, please let me know as I’d love to have as many contributing voices as possible!
