Senior social and digital news producer, specialising in executing digital-media-led strategies for broadcast news.

Currently, as the Digital Executive Producer at WACH in South Carolina, I developed a data-driven content strategy that drove a 223.7% increase in audience growth by expanding local news coverage to engage a national audience.

Formerly, the Deputy Editor of Social Media for 10 News First and Paramount ANZ in Australia, where I lead a team of social media producers and freelancers nationally. I work in conjunction with the 10 News First broadcast team to execute results-driven content across both legacy and emerging platforms.

In my journalism practice, my main area of focus is hard news, politics, technology, and human interest profiles. I also lead breaking news coverage across the 24-hour news cycle.

As a senior researcher, I also specialise in the spread of disinformation and conspiracy theories on social media and alternative news media. Having completed a dissertation titled “Disinformation in the media during crises: How COVID-19 has affected the media landscape,” which looked at the societal and political implications of COVID-19 disinformation in the media. This work was recognised with the Vice Chancellor's Dux Award from Bond University, where I graduated with the highest GPA across all disciplines. You can find a breakdown of my dissertation and research here.

I have completed a Bachelor of Journalism and Master of Communication, where I graduated with the highest honours.
