I am an award‐winning journalist and author, specialising in high‐quality, insightful features. I have written extensively for newspapers in Australia, the UK and Ireland and my work has been published all over the world. I spent ten years as a senior feature writer for The Age newspaper in Melbourne and now work as a freelance, covering a range of areas including profiles, health, the arts and music as well as social justice.
