In late 2005, I got my start as a copy editor six months after graduating from uni with a BA in Communications degree (Media Major), but not before completing a UTS course in subediting and a work experience stint on Krash magazine. It’s nice to look back and reflect on how my professional journey began and I’m grateful to the educators and mentors who helped me early on.
And for more than 14 years, I’ve written and edited print and digital content across fashion, lifestyle, beauty, youth, travel and parenting for magazines, including Dolly, Jones, Marie Claire, InStyle, Mother & Baby and Mama Disrupt. I’ve also worked as an online editor, social media manager and senior copywriter for leading retailers, including Ozsale, Autograph, Bras N Things and Freedom Australia.
I’m a creative at heart and alongside my strong copywriting and editing skills, I’m naturally curious and keen to be involved in all aspects of brand storytelling, from strategy to the design and art direction.
I also want to work for brands who are passionate about moving forward with their purpose, cultivate an encouraging (and fun!) work environment and practise inclusivity and equality in the workplace.
