Skills: I have a diploma of journalism where I learnt to write in shorthand,
edit my own work as well as other peoples and am fully aware of the

I am a hardworking journalist with a creative and quirky writing style
most strongly suited to feature writing. I also possess the skill to cut the fat
and focus on current news and events. My writing style has a fast pace and
is easily understandable and enjoyable.

experience dealing with strangers and communicating ideas successfully.

My main interest is to write about Sydney lifestyle. I have a talent for
finding new and exciting places within Sydney and I believe this is a
pivotal part of the current market. As the landscape has switched to online
& mobile editorials that are mostly suited to university students and young
adults I believe my voice will be important and attractive to that target
market.
