Her career in Indigenous media spans over 20 years, and includes experience in print, television and radio.

In 2008 she pursued her career goals in Indigenous Media, joining the communications team at NITV, Australia’s only Indigenous TV station, and then went on to explore working in radio with a joint position with both the Brisbane Indigenous Media Association and the National Indigenous Radio Service, in Brisbane.
In April 2016, Naomi returned to the Koori Mail, with the Koori Mail Board of Directors appointing her as General Manager.
Naomi has a passion for supporting Indigenous youth with employment and career pathways, by developing and delivering in-school programs and mentoring for students throughout the northern NSW region.
