Bio


I'm a Melbourne-based consultant writer, interviewer and editorial project manager, and a published author, driven by a surplus of curiosity for how things work and why.

Working with a range of people outside my usual realm - particularly interviewing and collaborating with experts for the greater good - is a genuine delight.


I love teasing out stories, curating content and publications, and dancing to a different beat with the 
variety that comes from working across sectors and demographics.

I began writing in 2007 after volunteering at a sub-arctic research centre in Canada where I became obsessed with learning about polar bears - naturally.

Since then, I've published features and photographs in
The Guardian, The Age, Kill Your Darlings, Australian Traveller, Outback Magazine and other outlets.

Whether writing about female shearers, fathers and footy, dancing as a lumpy adult or life as a teenager on a remote island, I love immersing myself in new worlds.


I write to engage and entertain, to understand and question, to filter and reframe. For clients like you. And yes, this can be achieved in one piece.

​Away from my desk, I'm usually blissing out in nature, talking up a story, travelling or hanging out with my favourite people big and small.
