About

I'm an outrageously experienced and highly motivated journalist, writer and editor specialising in food, nutrition, health and fitness. But I can turn my hand to any topic you dare dream of. Timber decking? Done it. Self-managed superannuation funds? Somehow, yes. Oral care and the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia? Boom! You got it. If you're not already dazzled, here's the drill: I have more than 20 years of experience in the industry, working my way up from a lowly copy editor to a proud and accomplished editor. I’ve worked for magazines, papers, websites and clients of all descriptions, in roles encompassing everything from men's and women’s health, fitness and lifestyle to B2B and Indigenous health and education. I've dealt with toxic workplaces, invisible editors and colleagues who hide casks of wine in their desk drawers. And to illustrate my irresistible charms and astonishing social influence, when I met the Dalai Lama, he complimented me on my outfit. Nice guy.
