I’m obsessed with communication. Always have been. I started interviewing friends and family in the mid-80’s using my trusty electric blue boom box and tape deck. I wrote, designed and self-published my first magazine at eight. Then I hustled to sell it in the playground. I‘ve always been a media consumer and contributor.I’ve worked in many forms of communication production throughout my career. I was originally a daily news journo for print newspaper and business magazines, which took me across the Asia Pacific and the UK. At 22, I won a prestigious Walkley Award for excellence in group newspaper journalism during the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s (yes, aeons ago).I’ve also been an on-air TV reporter and consulted as a PR and media relations expert to hundreds of well-known Australian brands in the business and charitable sectors. Combined with my experience in online communications, this gave me the reputation of being Australia’s most agile business communications expert.Today I collaborate with clients who want to amplify their messages, be heard, and really make a difference. Outside of work, I’m a keen art collector, horse rider and have been a non-executive Director on a number of Boards. Away from the tools, I have traded my marathon running gear for Pilates and Spin lycra outfits, read lots of books, and am busy shepherding two teen sons as they navigate modern life (including a lot of time on soccer fields).
