Breanna is Newshub's deputy social media manager, based in Auckland. She joined the digital team in 2015 and has a keen focus on environmental and science stories, with a tendency to call dibs on Antarctic stories in particular, while also dabbling in entertainment and gaming content. At the end of 2017 she travelled to Antarctica for Newshub On Ice, spending two weeks on the ice, and vows to return someday.
