Kathleen Gazzola was born and bred in Darwin. She’s a proud Territorian who loves fishing, camping and enjoying our relaxed lifestyle.
She first started working at Channel Nine as a 16-year-old in News Production before taking on the role of Studio Director the year after she graduated high school.
After leaving Darwin for three years to study Journalism, it was an easy decision to return home and take up a reporting role in the newsroom. Kathleen became Chief of Staff aged 23 and has been reporting on politics since 2012.
She found her way into journalism by following in her father’s footsteps - try as he might, Andrew Bruyn couldn’t dissuade her and now, Kathleen loves how different each day can be and the incredible people she meets.
She’s covered some of the Territory’s biggest stories, including US President Barack Obama and Prince Charles’ visits to Darwin, the fourth coronial inquest into Azaria Chamberlain’s death and some of the Northern Territory’s most recent political scandals.
Kathleen loves Darwin’s sense of community, which makes it feel like a small town, its multiculturalism and its sense of self – there’s no place like it!
