I recently relocated to Sydney after living and working in London for over ten years. I'm an Australian resident and plan to make Sydney my permanent home.
As a journalist, my staple work is feature writing. I also write real-life stories, reviews, web content and news articles. I am the owner \ author of the website: www.mumsgone2aus.com providing help for mums moving to Australia.
For sixteen months, I had a monthly column in Families South West, a parenting title with a distribution of 40,000 in South West London. I covered topics such as postnatal fitness, green and ethical gifts, and parent coaching.
I was a 'Community Correspondent' for the Wandsworth Guardian, contributing monthly online news articles. As a reviewer for View London, I regularly contributed restaurant, bar and pub reviews. I also write and promote press releases and have had great success for a number of small businesses.
I'm a Modern Languages and Computer Science graduate, I speak fluent French and excellent Italian. Upon graduating I threw myself into a career in Information Technology that was rewarding and challenging. As an IT Trainer for the world's largest international law firm (by revenues), I was responsible for writing in-house training manuals and user guides. For several years, I was the editor of the monthly IT e-newsletter for the same firm. In 2008, looking for a career that would be flexible and fit in with my growing family, I "retired" from IT to focus on writing.
In 2009 I completed my Diploma in Professional Freelance Journalism with the British College of Journalism.
