My work covers disability rights, chronic illness culture and health equity. I enjoy using solutions journalism to explore systemic problems and the people working to solve them. My writing has featured on the ABC, Refinery29, Meanjin and the Public Herald. I’ve been a regular contributor to Hireup’s news platform where I share my opinions. In 2021 I produced a TV segment for the ABC looking at how businesses who invest in disability employment perform better. I also wrote an essay for Refinery29 positioning Long Covid as a feminist issue and calling on the Australian Government to address it. I’ve facilitated panels, spoken at conferences and appeared on national TV. My background is in strategic communications. I spent 15 years working as a senior consultant with the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade, Bankwest, Commonwealth Bank and PwC. I’ve worked in Perth, Sydney, London and New York. I have a Bachelor of Mass Communications from Curtin University and a Foundations of Directorship qualification with the Australian Institute of Company Directors. I live with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
