Things I'm good at...
Feature writing
A non-award-winning journalist of the highest calibre, I write features, profile pieces and travel exploits for magazines and online publishers. From the fancy to the at-times dubious, my travel exploits engage, inspire and warn of the unfortunate consequences of panic attacks 6,000 ft in the air. Dripping with lyricism, imbued with warmth, hearty with superlatives and juicy with wonder, I give the joy of travel to every reader dreaming of their next escape. I specialise in transformative travel with my deep knowledge and understanding of the wellness industry as a Pilates + Yoga teacher, as well as equestrian and adventure travel.
Presenting
I am the co-host of Graziher magazine's podcast, Life on the Land and have experience as a speaker for youth mental health for-purpose organisation, batyr and as a master of ceremonies at events.
Copy writing
Website need some sparkle? Blog need some writin'? Brochure need a seasoned, winking eyeball run over it? I write copy for a range of businesses, from the tech and agricultural space to health and wellness. A wearer of many hats, I can adjust to the precise voice and tone you're looking for; especially if the voice is that of a remarkably attractive, jubilant and disarmingly witty bard/joker. I'm your gal.
I also write for Georgie Robertson of The Regional PR Co - the queen of the country public relations.
