I’m a freelance writer and editor sharing stories about people and places that connect with nature, inspire creativity and foster community. My work has appeared in Country Style, Inside Out, Monocle (UK), Mindfood, Home Beautiful, Gardens Illustrated (UK), Vogue Living, Nourish, SBS Food, House & Garden and Wonderground, among other publications. Most recently, I worked as the editor of Peppermint, an independent print magazine that champions ethical fashion, inclusivity, and social and environmental issues.

As well as writing editorial features, I collaborate with purpose-led businesses, NGOs, government agencies and tourism boards to create engaging content that reflects their values, including website copy, custom publications, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) reports. I hold a Bachelor of Communication, postgraduate qualifications in sustainability and environmental management, and a diploma in art therapy, and I enjoy working with like-minded clients to bring about positive change through the power of storytelling.
