I am a freelance documentary video journalist who can shoot, produce, report, script, film, edit and narrate. I spent five years working for HuffPost in London and Sydney, where I was nominated for two Young Walkley Awards in 2017 (long form) and 2018 (public service journalism). In 2018 as an independent journalist I won the 2018 Walkley Young Australian Journalist in visual storytelling for an investigative feature called ‘Dangerous Games?’, a solo project for SBS VICELAND's 'The Feed', which looked at brain disease in Australian football. My most recent assignment was for Buzzfeed Australia looking a resignation syndrome in refugee children in Sweden.
I work most often solo, creating stories from pitch to publication. With experience in producing and budgets, research and reporting as well as creative shooting and editing. I also have experience covering breaking news, live video and multi-platform publishing, have hosted podcasts and done live interviews on camera for HuffPost.
Assignments have taken me around Australia and on occasion internationally. This includes reporting from South Africa, East Timor and Sweden. As a freelancer I have also created branded documentaries for The University of Queensland.
Originally from Australia, I am now based in Berlin and working across Europe and the UK.
