I am a writer, editor and content specialist with a 30-year career in broadcast journalism, digital content, magazines and book publishing.
About
With a background in broadcast news and current affairs, I worked as a reporter, producer and supervising producer in commercial television before joining ninemsn to help build Australia’s biggest online content destination, establishing more than 50 television and magazine websites from the PBL media stable.
Following seven years in Singapore and London in senior editorial roles with MSN (Microsoft), I returned to Australia and completed a postgraduate degree in creative writing. I am now happily focussed on my original love of writing and editing.
