About me

I live and breathe words. I’ve specialised in words for my whole career, which started in music journalism and gradually morphed into corporate communications, business writing, specialised editing and annual reporting. I am known as tenacious, focused, creative and extremely patient!

I’ve worked at a senior level in government departments’ strategic communications, media or public affairs units and for small-to-medium businesses. I’ve operated my freelance writing and editing business since the mid-1990s, penned countless articles in magazines, journals and online, and specialised in writing tender/bids as well as grant or award submissions for enterprises in health, recruitment, dance/theatre, employment services, workers compensation, and data innovation.

And, surprise – in my spare time I write too! My gift book about motherhood, Being Mummy, reached the best seller list when it was first published in 2007, and my website Parenting Express, featuring creative writing about parenting, thrived for more than a decade (it’s still active but I no longer update it). I’ve also had several short stories published over the years. I’m currently crafting a work of literary fiction. In 2024, I lead the editing teams for two books, Shining Light Parents Speak and The Heart Will Find A Way, which also both feature my own creative writing.
