"Nancy El-Gamel possesses a quality all journalists need as much as their notebooks – alertness.

[I] was immediately impressed by her sharp and alert mind. She put it to good use throughout the year and stood out as someone who had more ambition, and more focus, than many in her class."

Award-winning New Zealand author, columnist, journalist and editor. Editor in residence at the Wintec school of journalism.

"Nancy's greatest strength is caring about the story and, in this era of new media, understands how to deal with the various tools that go into formulating a complete narrative."
