Services
I love working with video and helping people and organisations to tell their stories. I’ve been producing documentaries, interviewing and storytelling across a range of media for many years. I’ve run a successful video production company overseas and worked as a broadcast journalist here in Aotearoa for nine years. I directed the TVNZ series Asia Downunder, reported and produced feature stories for Radio New Zealand and I also made a video travel series for Air New Zealand.
I moved back to New Zealand from Bali in 2020 and am enjoying sharing my range of skills and services with kiwi clients.
