Sophia Hansen

Kia Ora, my name is Sophia Hansen! I have a passion for art, television and all things creative. Growing up as a dancer, I developed a love for the backstage environment which sparked my interest in studio production.

At Broadcasting School, I naturally take on leadership positions such as producer, director, and assistant director on Metro News. I excel in these roles due to my calmness under pressure and communication with others. I'm particularly drawn to the pre-production and production processes, where my attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and organisation shine. I thrive in environments that offer a little adrenaline! 

Having observed a sky sport control room and working on Metro News, I am certain about my passion for television production and I am looking forward to future adventures within the industry!
