feature writing

My favourite part about journalism is listening to people’s stories.

I recently worked on a podcast episode exploring the Indigenous Voice to Parliament Referendum and had the pleasure of interviewing Thomas Mayo!

The assignment brief was to choose a hypothetical client (in this case I chose Triple J) and create a 7 - 15 minute podcast episode for this client.

Feature writing and gender equality are two passion of mine which were fused together in this article ‘Misogyny in Mining’.

Initially created for an assignment, my article was later published on the Junction Journalism News site.

Cooks & Bakers Music Video

Directing the Cooks and Bakers Music Video was a challenging experience but with my amazing team we pulled together a high quality and visually striking video for the band!
