About

Hello! My name is Annabelle Hardy and I am a fourth-year TRU student completing a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Digital Journalism with a major in New Media. I am originally from the UK and now living in British Columbia as a permanent resident. Thanks to my traveling and internship experiences, including earning my level 1 and 2 Icelandic horse training certificates, my background blends creativity, culture, and hands-on experience. I am passionate about social media, design, and visual storytelling, and have had the opportunity to work on branding and website projects for the Canadian Icelandic Horse Federation (CIHF). Outside of academia, I ride and compete with Icelandic horses and have always worked, usually a serving job, while studying. The past two and a half years I have worked in the wine industry, where I have been able to promote sustainable farming practices both in person and online. As a communicator, I value empathy, clarity, and visual engagement, and I strive to create accessible content that connects meaningfully with diverse audiences.
