Kia Ora, I'm Travis Mitchell, an enthusiastic journalism student from Tairawhiti/Gisborne.
Growing up in Gisborne surrounded by a diverse group of people helped me realise many people feel unheard, I believe that everyone deserves a voice so I now strive to tell the stories of people who can't.
My whole life, I have been passionate about sport & interested in current affairs. I play and follow a wide range of sports – always with an eagerness to deepen my knowledge.
My passion for news started at a young age when I fell in love with television news - since then I have dreamed of becoming a storyteller for the people of Aotearoa.
I always bring energy and a determined, open to learning mindset wherever I go, and I look forward to bringing all these attributes into your newsroom.
