Tiffany Dunk - Media - NW Magazine
Tiffany Dunk has been working for NW for the
past six years, the last five as Entertainment
Editor. As part of her role she had the opportunity
to meet and interview some of the hottest people in
Hollywood (Beyonce, Cate Blanchett, Wentworth
Miller and Will Ferrell to name a few) plus the
brightest stars in the local industry. During that
time she has seen stars come and go (and
occasionally come back again) and she's got more
dirt on some of those than you could poke a pile of
sticks at! While she can’t say the perks aren’t
almost reason enough to stay in the role, the true
reason she loves her job is that she is passionate
about all things entertainment and she's worked
with some fantastic people over the years.
