Description

Just how does a Waikato farm girl end up reporting from one of the most dangerous places on earth, not just once but eight times

Lisette Reymer will tell you that she has never had a long-term career plan, just a huge desire to tell people's stories, wherever they are.

Her three years as Newshub's Europe correspondent just happened to coincide with some of the most tumultuous times of late - from being one of the few New Zealand journalists reporting from inside Ukraine to covering the Tokyo Olympics, the Queen's death, Donald Trump's indictment to Gaza and a revolving door of UK prime ministers - she has seen and done more in her three years there than most reporters would see in ten.

Funny, brutally honest and a front-row seat to some of history's most recent tumultuous times.
