Australia

I have always loved telling stories. My media career started at a regional newspaper in Queensland and I have gone on to work on some of the biggest titles in the world, including The Times, Australian Geographic, Voyeur, Outdoor and Yen.

Now based on the Gold Coast, I'm a podcast producer and content maker at the ABC and a freelance writer and editor, including for ABC Everyday and Australian Geographic.
