Kia ora!
I’m a photographer, a writer & science communicator - which when all mashed together - translates to storyteller. No matter how big or small, I am driven to create stories that speak, and success for me is when projects develop their own voice and fly off into the world on their own journey.
As Fellow of the NZ Mental Health Media Grant I brought to life the Christchurch earthquakes’ inspired photojournalism project The Space Between Words which received an Australasian Mental Health Service Award. I was also humbled to visit Antarctica on Antarctica New Zealand's Community Engagement Programme in 2016. The material from that trip was featured in North&South Magazine, three art exhibitions, and in the three-month display Postcards to Antarctica at the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch.
I live and work in the kereru-packed city of Dunedin as a Science Communications Adviser and freelance photographer & writer. My qualifications include double-undergraduate degrees in Commerce and Science, and a Master’s degree in Science Communication in which I explored the intricate relationship between Antarctic research scientists and the place of Antarctica.
Stories of course don’t like to be constrained by the artificial borders of geography, so please get in touch if I can help to give your story (a) a voice, (b) wings, and (c) independent flight.
