Hello!

I would be lying if I said I had always wanted to work in news. I discovered my passion for the actual craft of journalism at university, when I joined the campus television studio, CitrusTV. There, I discovered an abiding love, not only for the news itself, but for the collaborative process of producing it.

 

I moved to London to pursue a Master's in International Journalism and joined ABC News' Visual Verification team part time while finishing my degree, working overnight 3 nights a week and attending classes during the day. Upon graduation in August 2022, I was offered a promotion within the team and joined ABC's London office full time. Working with both the Visual Verification team, and with ABC's international operation has been an incredible joy. I have loved learning from all the people around me and their experiences, and have been deeply moved by their unending openness and drive for knowledge. In this environment, I've been able to experiment with new types of storytelling and try new tools to learn more from online evidence.

 

In this environment, I was also offered the opportunity in April 2024 to officially join ABC News' international team as the weekend foreign news assignment editor with the assignment desk, while continuing my work with the Visual Verification team on the weekends. It has been fascinating to learn about this side of the news and get to be more involved in the newsgathering process from a logistical side.

 

I’m never far from a newspaper or news broadcast but when I’m not enjoying the news, you can find me taking advantage of any opportunity to travel, doing flips and cartwheels in gym, or playing with my cat. I also love meeting and talking with new people! So please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or for a quick chat!
