About

My job as a storyteller and communicator is an honour and privilege based on trust, respect and integrity. I treasure the opportunity to give a platform for voices to be heard. My goal is to get to the “heart” and “why” of a story, then bring that to life with authenticity, accuracy and independence.A natural curiosity means I have a knack of finding stories anywhere but press releases — and of course, everyone has a story. I am a tenacious researcher, active listener and connect with the audience through writing, audio and visuals.Since starting with the ABC in 2001, I have acquired a variety of skills, experience and strengths in metro and regional bureaux across radio production, digital, news, emergency broadcasting and social media. This progression has also led to roles teaching and mentoring youth and colleagues.Areas of interest include: Mental and physical health, Type 1 diabetes, seniors, youth and adolescents, art and creativity, human interest, community, connection, disabilities, diversity and minority groups, social justice, youth, adolescents, regional issues, First Nations.Values: Trust, honesty, integrity, independence, authenticity, fairness, balance, curiosity, collegiality, intuition, value.
