I stepped into journalism after completing a one year stint toward a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) at the University of the South Pacific (USP) in Suva, Fiji 2002.

2003 saw me training on the job as a cadet reporter with the Samoa Observer under then Training and Development Editor Peter Lomas.

It wasn’t until 2006 that I was able to work more closely under the guidance of Samoa Observers founder and Editor in Chief Savea Sano Malifa while working in American Samoa at the Samoa Tribune.
