My Career

... In a glimpse. I have been part of the communications workforce since 2021 when I began freelancing for my local sports club and whipping up weekly wraps for my high school's netball academy. Since then I have worked in a freelance capacity at Ray White Commercial (2021/22), part-time in the Bond University Newsroom (2022) and full-time at Quest Community News (2022/23) and the Gold Coast Bulletin (2023-24). In and amongst this I have continued to develop my blog portfolio with travel, foodie and lifestyle content.
