Hasina Sacranie is a former University of Lincoln Journalism student who graduated with First Class Honour’s in 2010. Since graduating, Hasina has gained valuable experience in different organisations including Natural England, where she worked as a licensing and communications support advisor for just under 3 years, and the National Apprenticeship Service for a year, as a Copyeditor.

Hasina is currently working for the Medical Research Council (MRC) as a Web Content Editor. The MRC is a non-departmental public body, funded through the governments’ science and research budget. Some of the organisation’s notable successes include the development of penicillin, invention of MRI and DNA fingerprinting. Her job entails her to take a strategic overview of the MRC’s corporate website and associated microsites. Hasina is also responsible for design, writing, editing and updating content in line with the MRC’s communication’s objectives. We are looking forward to meeting with Hasina at the Alumni event and talking with her more thoroughly about her life after university.

UPDATE – 22nd February 2017

We caught up with Hasina at the alumni conference and asked her a few questions about her life after graduating from the university. Catch the interview below!

Angeline McCall graduated from the University of Lincoln in 2016.

Originally from Chicago, she took the plunge to study in Lincoln after a high school teacher encouraged her to apply.

During her time at the university she worked on Siren FM‘s ‘City Vibe’ Friday show and ran the student newspaper ‘The Linc’ for the 2015-2016 academic year.

She started working as a Video Journalist for an ABC-affiliate station in Fargo, North Dakota (Yes, like the movie), WDAZ, in October 2016.

Angeline feels lucky she’s had so many opportunities in places all around the world. At work, she enjoys reporting on anything and everything, especially when it’s not sup-zero degree weather.
