Passion for storytelling sparked at UC

Award-winning Podcast and Series Producer at Radio New Zealand, Sonia Yee, reflects on how her experience at UC helped to build her foundations as a passionate storyteller.

Sonia Lee graduated with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in American Studies.

That understanding, gained during a Bachelor of Arts in Media, Literature and Film Theory, has informed her career since she graduated in 1999, and helped lead to her current role as an award-winning Podcast and Series Producer at Radio New Zealand.

“Studying at UC opened up my pathway to critical thinking and a hunger for knowledge,” Yee says.

Learning about contemporary writers, like Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison, helped build her foundations as a passionate storyteller.

“I loved being exposed to African American writers – it opened up my world as a New Zealand-born Chinese woman, that these writers had experienced serious social and cultural injustice and inequality.
