Kia Ora, I’m Matt

They say the best things come in small packages and I am no exception!

After working for many years in the hospitality industry I joined the NZBS because i'm super curious about the behind-the-scenes workings of the media industry. The second I stepped foot in the door I knew I had found my place.

This year I have really honed in on the content creation element of radio, majoring in the creative department as well as working the role of Executive Producer, producing the Waves 96.1 Breakfast Show, The Wake-up Call.

Managing both the producers and the breakfast show has been a dream come true for me. I thrive in situations where I can manage a team and help every member perform to the best of their abilities. I am compassionate, critical, and hardworking when it comes to working in this space and am always looking for ways in which can make the team the best it can be.

When it comes to my work ethic, a common theme is “first to be there – last to leave” and I pride myself on the level of work I achieve as well as my attitude throughout the day.  

I am always willing to go the extra mile and lend a helping hand, so let me do my best to help your company be best it can be!

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
