UC degree first step into dream job as foreign correspondent

Studying at the University of Canterbury (UC) opened TV reporter Daniel Faitaua’s mind to the world around him and helped spark his dream of living and working overseas.

David Faitaua graduated from UC with a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese and American Studies.

“I get paid to learn about how the world works, meet fascinating people and explain stuff that matters and sometimes changes lives.”

The Covid-19 pandemic hit several months after he moved from Auckland to London with his wife and three sons last year. While the role has become busier, riskier, and more high pressure he still loves being in the city.

“One year on and my workload is even busier. Every time you leave home you’re reminded you’re putting your own health and life at risk in order to cover the pandemic.

“From a personal perspective, this is not the family OE I expected but lockdown makes you appreciate family more and as the death toll in the UK stands at more than 45,000 you realise how precious life is, not to take life for granted, and to enjoy it to the fullest.”
