Kirsty Nancarrow
Hi, I'm Kirsty. I have enjoyed sharing people’s stories for the past 30 years. I was an ABC journalist for 15 years in Sydney, Alice Springs, Darwin, and Cairns. I have called Tropical Far North Queensland home since 2010. I love the connection, creativity, lifestyle, and rich stories regional communities offer. My happy places are teaching video and media skills, hiking in the rainforest, cooking for friends and family, and tearing up the Latin dance floor.
