Hello!
So a little about myself! My name is Rebecca Wirzberger, I’m 23 years old and from Stockholm, Sweden. I’m new to Perth and going to stay here for more than 2,5 years. Before I got here I studied at a school called Berghs School of Communication. This school is seen as one of the best school in the world when it comes to media, communication etc. I went to one of their programs called Berghs Bachelor where Berghs has partnered up with 4 different partnerschools around the world. So I had the option of choosing London, San Fransisco, Sydney and Perth. I thought Perth was most appealing! So now I’m doing a Bachelor in Media and Communication and my major is advertising. So far I’m loving it here I Perth!
What are my passions in life? Well I have many interests! I love traveling, food, art, animals, spend time with friends and family, I love surfing, fashion, beauty, music, movies etc. I have always been a person who’s easily inspired. I love to get inspiration from everything from people walking on the street, book covers, to commercial campaigns. I have always been told by my mom (cheesy I know) that I have an eye for details. And always known I want to work with something creative, just haven’t known in what field. Because I want to work with many different branches at the same time. That’s why I decided to go in to advertising. I want to create advertising campaigns for different companies, such as sports brand, car brand or make-up brands. I want to create advertising campaigns that people remember. My goal in life is to work at a famous advertising agency. As what I’m still not sure. I guess my time at ECU will help me figure that out.
After I graduated high school I have done a lot of traveling. I first went to study at Santa Barbara City College, in California. I took marketing and advertising classes there to see if it’s field I want to continue in, which I obviously found interesting. I got a marketing certificate and loved my time there! When I came home I started to work at a restaurant and after 1 year me and my friend decided to backpack throughout South and Central America. I wanted to pursue my long lost dream of surfing. So we stayed at a surf camp in Nicaragua which we feel in love with. We later on applied for a job at the company, but in Bali. We both got the job so after 2 months in South and Central America we went to Bali. In Bali we stayed for 6 months. At the surf-camp I had many different work tasks, such as helping out in the kitchen, creating content for their social media accounts & taking photos of the guests while they were surfing. I loved every minute of it. I loved the fact that I was working at a surf-camp, that I could surf almost every day, I loved the food, the weather, the atmosphere, the people, I loved everything about the place! I also met ALOT of Australians there, so I guess it was also one of the reasons I choose to study in Perth. Because I thought all of the Australian I met were so nice. Then it was unfortunately time to head home and back to the restaurant job.
After 6 months I feel like it was time for the next step in my life, to get an education. But I still wasn’t done with traveling. That’s then I discovered Berghs Bachelor program was the perfect fit for me, because it could combine it all. I could have one semester at one of the best communication schools in the world, I could live by the ocean in Australia and I could get an bachelor in something I’m very passionate about.
That’s a little bit about me.. To know more about me and my creative project stay updated 🙂
