Hi! It's great to meet you.

THE STORY
Once upon a time... Too cliched? Alright, I'll try again.

Present day...
I'm a pun-loving, smoothie-sipping Aussie screenwriter (just getting started), journalist, indie author and publisher, and founder of a multi-platform, transmedia storytelling business (new website link coming soon - stay tuned). I'm a poet, too. You can find one of my poems in the Pivot & Pause anthology.

Additional skills...
*Art/illustration/design - I've exhibited in a gallery and group exhibition and sold a variety of works, including one at a charity auction.
*Acting and voiceovers. Think five years of speech and drama training, plus a handful of acting and voiceover classes.

THE BACKGROUND STORY
In a past life, I worked as a newspaper journalist. I've also written film and opera reviews for a couple of local newspapers and Australia's Perform magazine.

Side note: I'm a qualified holistic health practitioner, too.

WHAT I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT
*Diverse, inclusive, "unputdownable" and "binge-worthy" stories with unique characters and plenty of plot twists.
*Pushing the limits of my creativity (I've adopted a "no fear" approach to experimenting).
*Projects that don't shy away from gritty topics.
*Creating more stories that represent women and minorities, especially people with illness and disability.
*Working with friendly, inspiring creatives!
