A little about me

Picture
​
Now based in sunny Sydney, I've spent nearly two decades living and working overseas (in London, Dubai and Berlin).

After graduating from the University of Newcastle with a Bachelor of Business (double major in Marketing and Management), I hot-footed it to London in 2000.

I spent nearly a decade working in marketing and operations, first as a DVD Product Planner for film distributors and then in account management for top marketing agencies.

Juggling multiple projects meant I developed razor-sharp organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.

​But I've always been a word nerd.

So, in 2010, I retrained as a journalist with the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ), the 'gold standard' training program for journalists in the UK.

I learnt how to write clear, concise and accurate news stories (and how to master shorthand squiggles).

Since then, I've honed my multimedia storytelling skills as a Content Editor across the Parenting Group at one of the UK's biggest multi-platform publishers in London and for a stable of branded magazines at Dubai's largest content marketing agency. 


I love using data and insights to shape content decisions and have written about a broad range of topics, from tech start-ups in Dubai to women's security and justice in Nepal, where I was sent on assignment as a finalist in The Guardian’s International Development Journalism Awards.
