Kia Ora,

I have always loved writing as I know words hold incredible power when used correctly. I started out writing for the Oxford Observer magazine between 2020 and 2024, interviewing locals to tell their stories. The experience taught me how to craft stories from the most mundane prompt, from ploughing competitions to plant sales, and even donkeys (on occasion). 

Through NZBS I found a love for producing and being in control of the finished product. I fell in love with video journalism as I was able to plan, film and edit my stories. I'm proud of the results, as they show my creativity and my toolbox skillset.

One of my biggest passions outside of journalism is netball, but I hope to report on a wide variety of topics. Through NZBS I picked up the rules of golf, entered the world of politics and chased environmental lead stories. As my career unfolds, I hope to be a strong but kind voice in the media at a time when it is constantly evolving.
