In 1983 the Princess of Wales leant over Natasha in a crowd. The scent of Di's royal perfume ignited this eight year old's obsession with moments of history-in-the-making.

 

So she went on to sell perfume to the likes of Joan Collins and The Spice Girls at Heathrow. After being freaked by a nail bomb explosion in Soho and poisoned in India, she was ready to become a journalist.

 

Natasha's first real job was producing and reporting for Russell Brown's MediaWatch on Radio New Zealand. She spent a summer in Tehran just weeks prior to the Iraq war – when all foreign journalists were banned from Iran, working incognito (headphones converted to microphones hidden under her hijab) to create a radio documentary, which aired internationally on CBS Canada, National Public Radio USA and Radio Netherlands.

 

As a TV3 Nightline reporter Natasha developed the hugely popular internet technology segment, "Late Night Bytes", then progressed onto 3 News.

 

Campbell Live is the vehicle by which she can foster her lust for quality journalism and her ability to sniff out a good story (thank-you Di).
