ABOUT ME
Proud Kiwi, writer, explorer and nature nymph - on a quest to share the world's unwritten stories as I travel in pursuit of self-discovery, growth, and connection. I love hiking places that can only be reached by foot, plunging into cold water, and warming up with a good cup of tea. I live for the small moments, but I live life big.

A Different Light: First Photographs of Aotearoa
The mīhini mīharo reveals nineteenth-century Aotearoa as never before.
In 1848, two decades after a French inventor mixed daylight with a cocktail of chemicals to fix the view outside his window onto a metal plate, photography arrived in Aotearoa. How did these ‘portraits in a machine’ reveal Māori and Pākehā to themselves and to each other? Were the first photographs ‘a good likeness’ or were they tricksters? What stories do they capture of the changing landscape of Aotearoa?

I am currently a student at the University of Otago and am doing my last paper to complete my Bachelor of Applied Science with a double major in History and Physical Education, Activity and Health. I have a passion for both the history of Aotearoa and the outdoors, hence the combination of art and science within my degree.

A gender-equal New Zealand: utopia or dystopia?
Queen’s High School pupil Scarlett Rogers won this year’s National Council of Women Dawn Ibbotson Essay Competition. The topic was "A gender-equal New Zealand: utopia or dystopia?". This is an abridged version of her winning essay.
"Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength," says G.D. Anderson. To build utopia, perceptions of gender and equality need to change.
