About
I’m Julie Moffett, a journalist, editor, and communications professional who enjoys turning complicated, jargon-heavy issues into clear, everyday language. Across print and radio—plus media production roles—I’ve spent my career researching, interviewing, and writing stories that are accessible, accurate, and delivered to tight deadlines.
I also bring strong community leadership and relationship management, including governance roles with the Ashburton District Council and chairing multiple community steering groups. I’m an authentic, inclusive leader who empowers people to contribute their best, and I use my strategic thinking and wide stakeholder network to turn long-term goals into practical priorities and credible public communication.
