From hairdresser to 9 News camera operator - a podcast by OAK Magazine

Meet Carrington Lyons, the first female Camera Operator on the 9 News Central Victoria team. The most remarkable part, she’s only 22.
Carrington has always had a passion for photography and filmmaking but year 12 at St Brigid's College Horsham didn’t pan out the way she anticipated. Her short film for Tropfest wasn’t shortlisted and she didn’t get her first round university offer. So Carrington chose to defer her place at Deakin University and take up a hairdressing apprentice.
Six months in, Carrington knew hairdressing wasn’t where her heart lay. With the support of her boss and family, she moved to Bendigo.
It was a last minute shift change at a restaurant in Bendigo, that Carrington met tv journalist Sarah Lawrence who extended an invitation for Carrington to visit the 9 News Central Victoria studio. Carrington got her foot in the door and now... her days revolve around churning out high-quality, local news interviews, stories and packages.
Carrington shares with us her story of persistence and hard work, and why she believes everything happen for a reason.
Meet my friend Carrington from 9 News Central Victoria.
