About Me

I'm a mum of two little girls, with a background in radio announcing/producing and TV production.Since the bubs have come along I haven't been doing too much electronic media. Instead I work as a full-time mum and part-time freelance writer for a number of magazines, here in Australia and also the UK and Germany.With husband Scott we live a couple of hours north of Sydney, in the gum trees by the water with a few dolphins out the back and a resident koala named Loompa.

My Interests

Lately I've started writing fiction, which is fun, instead of newsy stuff... have been taking lots of photos, and editing some little video clips too. And I like to make silly stuff with my two little girls and occasionally go on a date with my husband.

I'd like to meet:

I may have already met them! But it would be cool to meet Billy Connolly

Music:

The Beatles, all the Sixties stuff, the Wiggles... a couple of fab Sydney bands (Bang Shang A Lang and the John Field Band)... I'm getting a bit of a taste for Robbie. Fond memories of Oasis in Scotland and London, love jazz, swing, and a bunch of other eclectic stuff, from Space to Madness, Level 42 (gotta love Mark King), Bad Finger, Crowded House... it's an odd mix.

Movies:

The Commitments, Go Now, To Kill A Mockingbird, Roman Holiday. Anything with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. Anything with Bobby Carlyle

Television:

The Bill, Parky, reruns of Hamish MacBeth, M*A*S*H. Lately we've discovered Thank God You're Here.

Heroes:

The Beatles... mostly John. Gregory Peck. Alan Alda. Audrey Hepburn. Billy Connolly (always!!!) Paul Field & Pooka. For the longest time I was deeply in love with Dennis Lillee. I adore many of the journos I have met. And I still fall in love with a lot of the people I interview for my work :)
