Oskar Howell is a social media and communications professional from Hamilton, Waikato. After graduating from Wintec in 2020 with a degree in Journalism, he ventured out on his own as a freelance technology and gaming journalist (Stuff/Newshub/RNZ/Spinoff). Seeing the way the wind was blowing with the pandemic, he returned to Wintec to complete a postgrad in Communications. He now works as the Social Media Specialist for dairy genetics company Livestock Improvement Corp, and spends his time enjoying photos of cows and creating compelling content. In his spare time, you can find him tweeting about watches and plants.
