G'day and 你好，

I was brewed in Australia, aged for 10 years in journalism, and am currently distilling in communications and marketing.

I'm a storyteller at heart. Whether it's breaking news, pitching a marketing campaign, or just reading the latest library book for my daughter Miya, I'm passionate about bringing words and pictures to life.

Originally from Newcastle, I've been in China since 2009 and am the communications specialist at the International School of Beijing.

When I'm not spinning yarns, I'm binge-listening to true crime podcasts, reliving classic adventures of TIntin, and an amateur boxing historian.

ALC708 marks the final unit in my Master of Communication at Deakin University, Following its completion, I'll be returning to Australia for a new adventure based in Canberra.
