Hello and welcome to my page!
My name is Janitta Thorn and I am studying a Bachelor of Creative Industries at the University of South Australia. My majors are Communication and Media and Creative Writing and Literature.
I enjoy biopic books and movies, travelling, writing love letters, and taking photos on my 35mm film camera.
In 2015 I was awarded first place in the prose section for the Young Writers Award held by SAETA. I wrote a piece called "My Old Friend" which you can read here.
I graduated from St Aloysius College in 2020 with an interest in fashion, photography, writing and art. I also excelled in Stage 1 and 2 French, and even got to participate in an exchange program in 2018 where I spent 7 weeks in Paris!
In 2022-2023 I began studying a Diploma of Graphic Design at Torrens University, however I only completed two semesters due to a change of interest in career pathways. I decided I wanted to pursue writing instead of digital design, which leads me to the Bachelor of Creative Industries at UniSA.
Since graduating high school I have been working all over the 'hospo' industry in Adelaide, with my humble beginnings working the drive-through at McDonald's West Terrace, watching families grow at Local Crowd (a quaint suburban cafe just outside of the city), curating skincare routines for my friends as a Summer host at MECCA, slinging cocktails at 1000 Island (a tiki-cocktail bar), to now pouring wines from all over the world at Alt. (a wine bar in Hyde Park).
