With nearly five years of experience as a journalist, I have built a strong foundation in storytelling, reporting, and crafting engaging content.

 

I am currently working as a senior reporter at the Star Weekly — a weekly publication focused on Melbourne’s western suburbs and councils. 

 

For each edition, I source, research, and write nearly 20 stories, including long-form features and fleshed-out front page leads. 

 

In this role I have covered crime, council affairs, climate issues, health, state and local politics, as well as hyperlocal stories.

 

Before joining the Star Weekly, I worked at The Maryborough District Advertiser — a semi-weekly regional masthead — as a journalist for more than two years. 

 

I initially joined the newspaper as a junior reporter and gradually advanced to the position of senior journalist. I also stepped into the role of acting editor on several occasions.

My move to Maryborough was filmed as part of SBS's documentary Meet The Neighbours, hosted by Myf Warhurst. I starred in the show alongside seven other diverse households. After the series aired, I shared my experiences and gave interviews to several media outlets, including ABC, SBS, and Channel 10.

Some of my prior undertakings include:

 

• Interning at the ABC Melbourne newsroom

• Working as the Executive Producer for SYN Media's flagship news and current affairs program, Panorama

• Developing The University of Melbourne’s award-winning podcast, Uncurated, as the Series Producer

• Writing stories and covering Youth Parliament as a member of the YMCA Youth Press Gallery

• Working as the reporter/sub-editor for Construction World Magazine

• Penning feature stories as the editorial intern for Business Traveller  

As a reporter, I tailor my approach to each story — utilising visuals, audio grabs, multimedia elements, or traditional storytelling mediums as appropriate.

I hold a Master's degree in Journalism, with distinction, from The University of Melbourne.
