ABOUT ME
I'm a final-year journalism student at RMIT in Melbourne, graduating this December. Over the course of my degree I've had experience in print, radio and TV, in both reporting and producing.
I've completed a number of internships and gained experience in the industry in a range of newsrooms.
​
I love to tell all kinds of stories, but in particular I'm passionate about politics, rural issues and winter sports.
