About / Bio
I am an international award-winning writer and consultant based in New Zealand, and I’ve lived in and traveled throughout the US. My career has included a range of multi-platform writing and consulting roles in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. From 2013-2023 I ran my own strategic and creative services business from Lyall Bay, Wellington, where I live with my family. I am currently working for New Zealand's largest private funder of child health research (and it's an incredible place to work), Cure Kids.
