Tenacity. Noun: ​the quality of not giving up something easily; the quality of being determined. (Oxford Dictionary)

It’s what kept her going after completing her studies at Curtin when work opportunities in journalism didn’t transpire as quickly as she hoped they would.

Tenacity is what has underpinned her career ever since.

Fran was at WAtoday from the get go and is now the boss.

But what kind of young reporters is she looking to employ?
