About

Welcome to Correlate.

Kia ora, I'm Erica.

I help people to communicate with confidence and clarity.

A Former TV reporter, producer, editor and communications executive working across TVNZ, Al Jazeera, Newshub and Fonterra – I’ve been crafting news stories, press releases, presenting and communicating for the past 20+ years.

I love figuring out what makes people tick and getting their stories told. From interviewing Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci in Paris, to chasing dodgy taxidermists as a reporter for Fair Go and covering stories of all kinds across New Zealand and the world, I’ve had a fabulous and varied career. Now it’s time to pass on some insider knowledge to get you seen in the media.

I’m a great listener and I love to laugh. Communicating doesn’t need to be scary, let’s make it fun.

 Here's the truth

Communicating with the media doesn’t have to be difficult, or fill you with dread.

It can be learned.
