Tina Tek

Tina Tek is a twenty-three year old student currently studying a Media and Law degree at Macquarie University. She has a penchant for all forms of media and loves to dabble in her writing skills during her spare time: a great candidate for an intern.

Until recently, Tina’s writing skills were mainly limited to writing essays and exams and it was only when The Punch team came along that the public could start to see her posts - though she does maintain a blog at Five Foot Nothing.

Tina adores The Beatles and green apple liquorice. In her spare time, you’ll see her small, beady eyes glinting through a fashion store.

Irritated by barrage of articles about mummy guilt, mums in crisis blah blah blah. Am I only noticing now or is this a newish avalanche?
