About
Many people hate public speaking, but nothing makes me happier than a microphone in my hand.
I am currently a digital reporter and editor for SBS News Digital, regularly acting as a chief of staff and video presenter.
I started my career as a print journalist with the Sydney Morning Herald back in 2015 and have worked for major international news organisations including the BBC and Deutsche Presse-Agentur.
I live and work on the traditional lands of the Kulin nation.
