Samantha Rina

I am a Fiji-based journalist, communications specialist and visual communicator with 24 years of experience across Pacific media, regional development and high-level event communications.

My work spans gender-based violence, disability inclusion, women's rights, health, environment, agriculture and culture - always handled with the precision and sensitivity these subjects demand. I have covered and supported some of the Pacific's most significant regional convenings, including the Triennial Conference of Pacific Women, ministerial meetings across the women, culture, education and agriculture portfolios, and the inaugural planning meeting of the Pacific Traditional Leaders Forum.

Alongside my journalism and communications work, I design and produce - from annual report and full magazine layouts and 20-page awareness supplements to event merchandise, infographics, banners and campaign materials.

Available for consultancies, remote assignments and collaborative projects across the Pacific and beyond.
