Hello, I am Nicola Van Meer. My interests are cinematography and directing. I was a part of the Southern Easter Camp Media Team 2021 where I was sent to film content for the highlight reels. There have been times I have been out with the Newshub camera crew, where I gained experience on the field. Including going behind a cordon. In broadcasting school, I have the opportunity to be in the roles of directing and camera operating. In my spare time, I love to dance, play instruments and be with my horse. I look forward to talking to you soon.
Drivers license: Full - I have a certificate in minivan defensive driving
