Early life

[6] Jehan went on to successfully pitch multiple features to The New Zealand Herald as a 16 year old. [1] [6]

Jehan studied Bachelor of Arts (majoring in Public Policy and International Relations) at Victoria University of Wellington. [1] [8]

Journalism career

After finishing university Jehan was employed on TVNZ's Close Up and remained on staff when the programme rebooted as Seven Sharp. [1] In 2016 Jehan moved to TVNZ’s current affairs programme, Sunday , becoming their youngest-ever regular reporter. [3]

Jehan produced and presented the talk show The Inside Word in 2018 which aired on TVNZ’s Duke channel, tackling tough topics such as negative body image, alcoholism and cyberbullying. [9]
