Screen & Audio
I work across screen and audio as a presenter, producer and storyteller, specialising in culturally grounded narratives, music-led storytelling and socially engaged documentary.
With a background in journalism and a creative practice rooted in sound, music and lived experience, my work centres voices and perspectives that are often underrepresented — without flattening complexity or nuance. I’m interested in how stories are shaped, who they’re for, and how we can make them accessible, resonant and emotionally honest across different platforms.
I work both on-screen and behind the scenes, contributing to story development, scripting, editorial direction and audience consideration.

Selected Work
BBC World — Monumental: Bristol After Colston
Presenter & Editorial Collaborator
A short documentary exploring how Bristol has been responding to racial inequality following the removal of the Colston statue. Alongside presenting, I worked closely with the producer on scripting, story transitions and audience framing, with particular attention to language, global context and accessibility.
“Beyond her personal connection with the story, Ngaio brought a fascination with the subject and an openness to seek out new perspectives. She has an effervescent energy and a bombastic sense of humour which all comes across in her broadcasting.”
