I am a passionate journalist with a particular interest in telling stories of those who are too often silenced. I welcome new challenges and thrive off delivering accurate and compelling content with stories that matter . As I'm in my second year of study at the New Zealand Broadcasting School I'm now ready to develop the skills I have gained via an internship. After gaining experience with both international and national media in all platforms (online, radio and television) I feel I have a balanced skill set that would add value to any organisation.
