Bree is a Professional Communications graduate specialising in journalism. Bree has also completed various literary studies and has industry experience producing for film and digital media. A knowledge and interest across these areas has led Bree to pursue a career in producing documentaries, aiming to tell stories through both written and visual channels.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed working alongside the Bowen Street Press to develop our piece Birrarung. This piece was as rewarding to construct as it was to deliver. I have learnt things from The Koorie Heritage Trust that I believe are culturally and politically important for all Melburnians, if not all Australians. I hope the reader finds reading our work as enjoyable and view-changing as creating it was for us”.
