RMIT journalism graduate creating content across sport, media, and digital culture. Experienced in writing, interviews, audience-focused storytelling, and social-first campaign concepts.

About Me

I’m a Melbourne-based journalism graduate from RMIT University with a strong interest in storytelling across sport, digital media, and culture.

I recently completed an internship with Soccerscene, Australia’s only B2B football industry publication, where I produced news, features, and interview-based content in a professional newsroom environment. This experience strengthened my ability to research, write, and create engaging content while working to deadlines and contributing to coverage of the game’s growth, governance, and participation in Australia.

My work is grounded in human-centred storytelling, particularly within sport, with a focus on capturing the voices and experiences behind the game. I enjoy producing content that is both engaging and informative, whether through written features, interviews, or multimedia formats.

Alongside my journalism background, I have a strong interest in digital and social media, particularly how storytelling evolves across platforms and how audiences engage with content. I’m interested in creating work that is both meaningful and accessible, adapting stories for different formats while maintaining depth and authenticity.

Through my portfolio, I aim to showcase a mix of written, video, and digital content that reflects both my journalism training and my interest in content creation and modern media
