Welcome. I’m an Australian communications professional with a background in health, journalism, and strategic communication.

A selection of writing projects
Young monk with cap gun
Every few days, I heard gunshots and screams in an alley of Thamel, Kathmandu. It turned out to be a young Buddhist monk terrorising chickens and children with a noisy albeit harmless cap gun. I mentioned the sight of a monk with a gun would make a great photo.
My friend (the art shop owner wearing blue jacket), apprehended the boy and translated so I could talk to him.

Versailles of Relief
A brassy incongruous-looking sculpture by kitsch artist Jeff Koons was within the main courtyard when I visited the Chateau de Versailles. The controversial exhibition included a giant shrimp, a pink room-sized poodle, and Michael Jackson and Bubbles sculpture. It will be a relief to many that it is now over.
Versailles is unarguably magnificent, but it could be seen as a monument to excess. Personally, I think the sculptures fit right in.
Annual (and other) Reports
I combine strategic thinking, project management, an understanding of print processes, deep subject research, interview all the key people, to deliver a fresh, compelling, accessible, and persuasive publication that achieves its goal.
I have produced nine annual financial reports, two sustainability reports, an investor prospectus, capabilities reports, pitch decks, and a state of the disability sector report. On time. On budget. Every time. No exceptions.
