ABOUT

I am a University of Canberra soon to be graduate, with a Bachelor of Communications and Media (Journalism) degree, including a breadth major in Forensic and Legal Psychology.  

​

I have a keen interest in producing thoughtful, and inspiring stories for our nation’s capital. With experience across multimedia platforms, I especially enjoy developing interesting, relevant and authentic feature articles.

 

A recent highlight is a soon to be published feature article I researched, wrote and collaborated on with HerCanberra. 

 

I am enthusiastic, committed, creative, and thrive under pressure.
