For as long as I can remember, I have been captivated by the way stories are told... and intrigued with the roles people play to make our world what it is. My dream is to be part of that storytelling process.
I'm a bubbly and energetic creative studying Broadcast Journalism at the New Zealand Broadcasting School. I have a variety of experience in the media, both as an entrepreneur and practitioner.
You'll very rarely see me without a smile (the headshot above is an exception).
