My first metroplitan newsroom role was in Perth, working within a larger team that allowed for broader coverage opportunities, including interstate and international assignments. This position expanded my skill set to include production-level interviews and in-depth storytelling for 60 Minutes, developed through collaboration with journalists, producers, and editors. Highlights of my work in Perth included coverage of the abduction of Cleo Smith, the Claremont serial killer court case, Cyclone Seroja, Bali post-COVID, and the Gold Coast AFL Hub.

I joined Channel Nine as part of the launch team for their Local News Network in Far North Queensland. This unique opportunity allowed us to build a regional news service from the ground up, which required strong organisation, clear communication, and creative problem-solving. In a regional setting, I took on a wide range of responsibilities including story development, VJ, and editing. Highlights included coverage of natural disasters and local community stories.

I began my career at Channel Seven News, where I developed the core skills of filming and editing news. Regularly shooting and editing up to eight pkgs per day, I learnt the ability to work on a tight deadline. I also travelled across Queensland to provide coverage support in regional bureaus such as Townsville and Mackay.
