I'm offering
I’m a trained journalist with eight years of full-time reporting experience in New Zealand. I’m now living in London, and available for reporting and producing work in print, digital, and broadcast mediums. I am also available for television or radio expert commentary or panel discussions.
In my time as a business, national news, and political reporter, I have covered a range of topics and mediums. This includes breaking news - from the Christchurch mosque terror attack and the Kaikoura earthquake - to covering the 2017 NZ election, writing in-depth features and analysis, creating interactive projects, and hosting a podcast.
In recent years, I have specialised in stories on the topics of: social issues, mental health, democratic freedom, the Chinese Government’s influence in New Zealand, immigration, refugee and migrant communities, gun law reform, drug law reform, and education policy.
