'Spinning Babies' article for Oh Baby! magazine
With a decade of experience as a New Zealand journalist, I excavate interesting stories from the endless noise.
Feature Writing
Arts, culture and music writing | Topics with an environmentalist lens | Mental health | Feminism and women’s health | Other topics that pique my interest – I’m forever curious.
Interviews
Whether I’m interviewing creative talent such as Billie Eilish, Joy Crookes or Phoebe Tonkins, politicians such as Chloe Swarbrick, people within marginalised communities, quirky artists, entrepreneurs or high-flying business folk, I bring empathy and curiosity to the interview. I get beautiful quotes through multi-layered conversation, and my interview style favours active listening over formulaic agendas.
Personal accounts + opinion
As someone who has struggled with my mental health, I’ve found great value in being open about my personal battles. Being a writer enables me to share feelings that other might find difficult to verbalise and I see strength in vulnerability. I’m comfortable airing personal viewpoints on this, plus my nuanced opinions about environmentalism, animal rights (I’m a passionate vegan), sexuality and relationships. My honesty nourishes every story.
