I want to educate and inspire people to be active through my writing. I have published widely on health, fitness and adventure travel.
For three years I've written the 'Melbourne Icons' section for Postcards Victoria and I spent two years as the columist for Ride On magazine's Skills and Training page. I am also a regular contributor to Outer Edge magazine and Open Skies, the Emirates inflight publication and I also write articles and programs for the Cycling Promotion Fund
I was a founding member of the Alliance Freelance Writers’ Network and am featured on the Media Arts and Entertainment Alliance (MEAA) find a freelancer directory.
Some articles are available on request. Please contact me for more information or if you would like to commission an article.
