ABOUT

Rome-based freelance journalism.

I am a live and breaking news specialist with an eye for an angle and a talent for clean prose available for digital reporting and enterprise coverage on topics across international news, travel, and lifestyle.

My journalism experience includes covering crime and breaking news for the New Zealand Herald. Based in Hamilton, Waikato I reported on stories of national and international interest such as the death of Kīngi Tūheitia Pōtatau Te Wherowhero VII, the manhunt for Tom Phillips, coastal inter-gang conflicts, and history-making court and coronial cases.

I first cut my news teeth as a regional reporter for the Rotorua Daily Post and Bay of Plenty Times writing about health, crime, and local democracy. During my time in the regions, I reported from the frontlines of the Covid-19 pandemic, Cyclone Gabrielle and covered the local effects of the war in Ukraine, troop withdrawals from Afghanistan and protests in Iran.
