Liz Mellino

I began working with the Shepparton News in June 2016, beginning my career with the company working in the digital space. After working on the company's website and assisting with social media for a year and a half, I then took up a role as a journalist. Since then I have gained experience covering a range of different topics in the community, focusing on police, emergency services and court reporting. Being born and raised here in Shepparton, I love working alongside the local community and reporting on the highs and lows of our region. I think we have an amazing community here in Greater Shepparton and I look forward to meeting some of you when I am out and about reporting in the area.
