Freelance Journalist

Australia

I am an editor, writer and reporter who for almost two decades worked for WHO Magazine, most recently as Executive Editor. I've interviewed Hollywood stars like Matt Damon and Heath Ledger and also profiled many ordinary Australians with extraordinary stories. I've covered events from the Academy Awards to the Australian Air Guitar championships and have written and edited countless long-form articles and news stories.

When I’m not riveted to reality TV and pop culture trends, I can be found on the beach.
