New reporter for north Auckland
Hi neighbours, my name is Caroline and I'm going to be covering news in the Rodney area temporarily while our other reporter works on another project.
A bit about me: I moved to Auckland from Palmerston North to report for Stuff in 2018. I've spent most of my time at Stuff covering breaking news but also spent six months reporting solely for the Rodney Times.
I live in Albany and will split my time between there, Stuff's Ponsonby and Takapuna offices. I enjoy writing about crime, social issues and anything funny, weird or wacky.
If there is anything you think Stuff should be reporting on or investigating, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to message me via Neighbourly, Facebook (link below) or flick me an email at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz

I twinkle and glow, guiding paths in the snow.
I’m not the sun, moon, or star in the sky,
yet on rooftops and trees, you’ll see me up high.
What am I?
