Kia Ora!

During my time at the New Zealand Broadcasting School, I have found myself giving everything a good try. I am very eager to learn and will not hesitate to jump at opportunities presented to me. Because of this, I have gained experience in Premiere Pro and Avid Media Composer. As well as writing and directing a short drama, floor managing and art directing- all which I loved doing.

I have a particularly strong interest in cinematography. After being a camera operator for Metro News, Music videos and Documentaries, my love for visual storytelling and working with others has only increased even more! I love working with people and will always bring a good attitude and encouragement every day to the workplaces I am in, while also working to my highest standard. I have also gained an understanding of composition and key camera techniques.  

I am extremely excited to be starting a career in an industry which I am passionate about and I believe that my willingness to learn, positive attitude, creativity and adaptability will be a great addition to any team :)
