"Abigail's curiosity and flexibility were a real asset when filming. She was keen to understand how we were constructing the story with the interviews and filming. Most importantly, she helped when it was needed. Cameraman Andy Brown was impressed by Abi's technical knowledge. Abi filmed some basketball GVs which were good enough to use in the final film. It is for these reasons as a team we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abi for any position she applies for."

Fiona Mackie, People's and Politics Correspondent at Sky News

"Abi was the most enthusiastic student I've ever had shadow my job! Abi clearly enjoyed and felt comfortable in the newsroom and ops area- showing a good understanding and great initiative. Abi was confident, warm and friendly and was great with the listeners when taking calls. She wrote scripts for the Daytime Show and got the tone and style just right. Abi is open to learning new skills, taking on board feedback and suggestions. She has a good attitude and work ethic- she'll do well in any newsroom/ radio station."

Emma Foreman, Radio Producer at BBC Radio Leeds

"Abigail was extremely enthusiastic from the beginning- she showed interest in each of the various tasks she was given. Abigail gelled well with the newsroom- she navigated the dynamics of our workplace with ease. In my view, Abigail will succeed in whichever role she chooses and I hope she will be given the opportunity to do so"
