BROADCASTER, JOURNALIST & PRODUCER

With more than 16 years’ experience as a reporter, newsreader and host across newsrooms around the country, I understand what it takes to tell stories that cut through on television, radio and digital platforms. I’ve worked in fast-paced breaking news environments and in long-form formats that demand depth, nuance and care, and I know how to shape content that connects with audiences across every medium.

From the light to the shade, and everything in between no story is too big or too small. I’m skilled at interviewing, scripting, presenting and packaging both short-form hits and in-depth features that hold attention and drive impact. Whether it’s live broadcasting, documentary storytelling or investigative series work, I bring clarity, structure and narrative strength to every project.

That same expertise extends beyond traditional newsrooms into corporate storytelling and documentary production. I work with organisations to uncover the human stories at the heart of their brand, crafting internal and external documentaries, campaign videos and purpose-led content that feels authentic rather than promotional. It’s about finding the emotional core, shaping the narrative arc and delivering a final product that resonates with stakeholders, staff and customers alike.

If you need someone to step seamlessly into a newsroom, front a programme, or help your business navigate the media landscape and tell its story with confidence and credibility, you’re in the right place.

NEWSROOM CONSULTANT

With extensive newsroom experience across New Zealand, I’ve absorbed the best knowledge from some of the country’s top broadcasters and producers. From investigative journalism, documentary making and presenting, to reporting and producing I’ve spent years refining these skills and can add value to any newsroom worldwide.

I can advise news teams on show structure and style and offer one-on-one training to hosts and journalists looking to make their mark.

In 2023, I spent a month on the ground in New Delhi as part of a team of consultants brought into state broadcaster DD India to help upgrade the network ahead of G20.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and experienced consultant for your newsroom or consulting team, get in touch.
