Bio
Journalist and reporter at Pinsent Masons, covering legal news and analysis. Formerly Star News Group and The New Daily.
At the Star Mail, I covered news at a local level, ranging from human interest stories, natural
disasters and state and federal elections, while developing a wide range of sources within emergency services, community groups and key stakeholders throughout Melbourne.
At TND, I reported on a wide variety of stories ranging from state, national and international issues and expanded my contact book with a range of federal politicians, academic sources, unions, and
