About Me
I'm a University of Canberra graduate with a double degree Bachelor of Communication in Journalism and Bachelor of Arts. I majored in Creative Writing and English Language and Literature for my Arts degree, exploring a variety of different reading and writing disciplines.
I have worked in the retail sector for almost five years, building my skills in interpersonal communication and teamwork in fast-paced and complex environments and situations. I currently work for lululemon athletica Canberra where I am also involved in community events and assist in running their Facebook page.
In my free time you can find me exercising or practicing yoga, reading, exploring new places or enjoying some type of delicious culinary delight!
My aim is to expand into a dynamic and challenging role that will allow me to practice and hone my writing and research skills. I would love to work on projects big and small that have a meaningful outcome for a company or client.

THE DISTRICT BULLETIN: Freelance Media Contributor
I started with this local publication as an intern while at university, but have continued on as a freelance contributor since completing my studies. I enjoy pitching, researching and writing my own articles - some requiring me to travel beyond Canberra.

LULULEMON ATHLETICA PTY LTD: Educator
I have worked for lululemon's Canberra location for almost six months. As an educator I assist our guests in feeling confident in themselves and their goals - both sweaty and personal. During my time with lululemon I have also participated in a variety of sweaty activities and yoga classes, actively exploring my own physical limits.
