I’m a non-fiction writer of articles and a freelance digital consultant.
I have an established career in the digital media sector which I have applied to help agencies like Small Studio, as well as to provide project management and content strategy advice to individuals and small business.
My experience includes working as General Manager at the international agency, Reactive. At the time I led their 35-employee strong Melbourne Studio. During my seven (+) years at Reactive I gained a strong business background and developed my interest in the people side of business (what the business community likes to call Human Resources).
In addition to my time at Reactive, my digital experience includes advertising (at Grey Interactive) and Web portals (such as www.realestate.com.au and www.seek.com.au). I have worked in the general media and arts industries for over twenty years including a stint in community radio (3MBS), a few screen culture organisations (such as the Australian Film Institute) and tutoring for Swinburne University’s Life and Social Sciences faculty.
I am a glutton for education and have obtained a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Media and Australian Studies (Swinburne University of Technology), as well as a Diploma in Photography majoring in Fine Arts (Australian College of Photography, Art & Communication). I’ve also completed a Diploma in Professional Writing and Editing from RMIT TAFE.
From July 2010 to July 2011 I went to Japan on the JET (Japanese Exchange and Teaching) Program. I was placed in Sendai, Miyagi where I taught English at a Junior High School. This was one of the top adventures of my life and I now consider Sendai my second home.
