Radio NewsreaderAustralian Broadcasting Corporation (Abc) Mar 2019 - Sep 2020Darwin, AustraliaI was a radio newsreader across the vast, brown Northern Territory. From truckers behind the wheel of 170ft "road trains"; to boaties casting a line on croc-infested waters; to the cultural melting pot of Darwin, my broadcasts reach a diverse audience across 1/6th of Australia's landmass. But you'll have to get up nice and early to catch my first broadcast: I'm on air from 0530 sharp on ABC Radio Darwin, Radio National and across ABC digital stations. -

Primarily I was at home on the Mornings program, which airs from 8:30am weekdays, and drives the conversation with politics, and local Darwin stories. At ABC Darwin I've chased the Commonwealth Games baton through the suburbs of Palmerston; given live updates while slightly lost on an orienteering course; and helped produce a surprise, in-studio dance lesson for host Adam Steer to find its feet. -

Editor (English)Tatoli Sep 2019 - Jun 2020Dili, Timor-LesteTatoli is Timor-Leste's relatively new (2016) government-funded news outlet, reporting online and on Youtube. I was tasked with introducing English language news for the first time, with an eye on audiences around the globe, and to help modernise Tatoli's news service. It currently enjoys a strong reputation among white-collar Timorese, especially Portuguese-speakers. But the challenge is to reach out high into Timor's mountains to reach people in isolated communities, and help combat viral misinformation that has contributed to internal turmoil in recent years.
