I am a communications professional, video producer and journalist with experience across a broad range of areas including online and print newspapers, magazines, blogs, radio and corporate communications. My journalism background has enabled me to develop key strengths in feature writing, report writing, editing and communications. I have a strong news sense and an understanding of the changing nature of the newsroom.
My interest in multi-platform content led me complete professional training to become a video editor and producer with the internationally-renowned Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS). I see the video process from concept to finished product - managing the scripting, shooting and post-production process independently.
I have a Bachelor of Communication (Journalism; Honours, Division 1) from the University of Newcastle. I have a passion for digital media and have proficieny in the use of content production tools such as Premiere Pro, Photoshop, After Effects, ProTools and Wordpress CMS. I have a comprehensive understanding of social media and have experience using social media tools in a professional environment.
I believe in the importance of learning and growing and am always looking to further develop my skills through applied practical experiences. I continue to work as a contributing journalist on numerous publications and dedicate a lot of my personal time to photography, writing and audio-visual production. I seek to work in a place that promotes independent storytelling, innovation and creativity and with individuals that inspire me on a daily basis.
