“Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.”
― Jane Goodall
Every day, everyday people do extraordinary things. Sharing these things are why I'm studying journalism at the New Zealand Broadcasting School. I'm interested in science, the arts, and culture; and I'm passionate about our natural environment. During my time here, I've developed an interest in longer form story-telling, as well as producing content for both video and radio.
