Freelance journalist based in Takapau. Loving the chance to tell your story! Also fiercely proud of the rural dating agency). The rest, as they say, is history.

I am a freelance writer, operating as communiKate, based in Hawke’s Bay but covering the lower North Island (and often further afield). I have been a journalist since I left school, although I started with radio and only moved into print when I returned from my OE in 1996. I left full-time employment when my first child was born and I have been a freelance (or self employed) journalist, administra

tor and event manager ever since. My current contracts/clients include NZ Herefords, NZ Rural Support Trust and Stuff (rural, after they closed NZ Farmer on me). In the past I have written or worked for many organisations, such as Young Farmers; I wrote the 50 year history of the Young Farmer of the Year in 2019. I am also a member of the Takapau Volunteer Fire Brigade, belong to a few local sporting organisations and am an administrator of our community page. Growing up in the southern farming district of West Otago was an idyllic childhood ... the youngest of four Rivett girls on a family sheep farm. Newstalk ZB in Hawke's Bay beckoned when I was 21 after I had worked in broadcasting in Gore, Christchurch and Alexandra. Many people assume I moved here when I met my husband, when in fact I moved here and met Thomas a few weeks later (thank you Young Farmers a.k.a. Thomas and I have been together for 28 years, married for 25. We have two great children (if I do say so myself) called Sarah, 22, and Lachlan, 20.
