About me
I am a freelance journalist, content producer, editor and proofreader, originally from London, who has been living in Sydney since 2001.
Over the past 14 years I have worked on staff as a senior reporter, features writer, sub-editor and editor, and as a freelancer on a broad range of print and online media in the UK, US and Australia.
My work has appeared in consumer titles including The Sydney Morning Herald, News Limited’s The Punch, Overland, Cleo, YEN, Mindfood, Slimming & Health, Time Out London, Curve, Diva, LOTL and Natural Health & Vegetarian Life among many others.
I have also written for specialist and corporate publications including Personnel Today, Employers' Law, Occupational Health, Inside Housing, Building Products News, Environ, Contractor Construction and B&T.
I write occasional opinion columns for the ABC's The Drum Unleashed on gender politics; sex, gender and sexuality diversity; and animal advocacy, and am the editor-in-chief of The Scavenger a not-for-profit monthly online magazine for alternative, progressive news, features and commentary.
I worked for two years as sub-editor and writer at Sirius Communications, a boutique PR company that produced The Lamp (the magazine of the NSW Nurses Association) and have contributed to Union News, the magazine of the Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Union, through Praxis Media.
I am currently the content editor for the Empty Spaces Project website (an initiative of Arts NSW, managed by the University of Technology Sydney’s Shopfront) and the community manager and site producer for the Cultural Asset Mapping in Regional Australia (CAMRA) website, run by the University of Sydney.
Previously I was the sub-editor at B&T, the weekly magazine for advertising, marketing and media professionals in Australia, for 18 months and have also done sub-editing work at Mindfood and Key Media on titles including Your Investment Property, Your Mortgage and Human Capital.
One of my specialist subjects is sex, gender and sexuality and I have written extensively for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans media, including a weekly column for five years in SX magazine, as news editor for SX, and a year as launch editor of Cherrie, a monthly women's magazine, all published by Evolution Publishing.
I have edited several books on topics as diverse as sex and gender identity, hypnosis and self-help.
