What's All The Buzz About?
Our Team
Jamee
Editor
Jamee spends her time wrapped in cords, as both a Media Arts and Journalism major. She likes puns, peaches, pink and peace and quiet. As a film buff, she loves a night in, watching bad horror with good coffee.
Lydia
Deputy-Editor
Studying both journalism and law, Lydia's been at uni for years and may never leave. She describes herself as a classic Taurus, and spends any free time in her hyper-organised schedule watching Drag Race or tagging her boyfriend in Gordon Ramsay memes.
Max
Sub-Editor
Max is in his 3rd year studying a Bachelor of Communications (Journalism) and a Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation. He has a passion for telling people’s stories and makes a mean carbonara.
Claire
Social Media Co-Editor
Claire classifies herself in the rare category of proud Aussie redheads. Juggling the hardships of 3rd year journalism, media internships and maintaining a GF/DF diet, Claire finds solace in 4hr bathing sessions and overspending at Peter Alexander.
Alessia
Social Media Co-Editor
Alessia is an Aperol Spritz advocate, in her third year of a journalism & law degree and enjoys travelling, all things Harry Potter related and is a big-time Dachshund admirer.
Chloe
Sub-Editor
When she’s not wrangling the gigabytes of AV content that she over-ambitiously recorded, Chloe is likely found baking her third loaf of banana bread this week.
Maddie
Video + Image Editor
Maddie's studying journalism because she’s good at talking/arguing and didn’t have the patience to become a lawyer. She enjoys sodium, tequila and her ‘special talent’ is being able to say the alphabet backwards.
Krisinda
Visual Stylist
Krisinda's been writing poetry since before she could walk (not really), and loves Nutella, the moon and buying activewear. In her spare time you’ll find her watching Gilmore Girls, or dreaming of one day owning five dogs and moving to Greece to run a bookstore.
