ABOUT ME

I am an aspiring journalist, currently completing an honors yeatuniversity at the University Of Canberra. During my time at Uni I have completed an internship with the Canberra Times where I learnt a lot about writing and journalism and managed to have some of my work published.

​

I am passionate about many different topics and as a journalist I love writing about peoples personal stories and topics that don't tend to get much spotlight. I have a website where I upload all of my own original work, including assignment pieces or stories that I have written independently.

ARTICLES

Here are a few of the stories I have written.

The bright lights, pyrotechnics and big hitting of Twenty20 was more than a hundred years away when people first picked up a bat, ball and stumps in the region.

10 YEARS OF HALL SCHOOL MUSEUM AND HERITAGE CENTRE – THEIR STORY

2021 marks the ten-year anniversary of The School Museum which was opened in 2011, a few years after the closing of the Hall primary school in 2006.

The closure of Hall primary school was against the wishes of many residents of the Hall, where the school had been an essential part of the village since it was built in the early 1900s.

ALCHEMY CHORUS - GLORIOUS ORDINARINESS.

Each week, here at the Hughes Community Centre, gather a group of people, who unlike the façade of the centre (boring and unremarkable) are vibrant and inspirational. If you had come here before the recent Canberra lockdown, you would have heard, seen and felt the extraordinary atmosphere of their choir called Alchemy Chorus – a community dementia choir founded by Brian Triglone in 2016.
