About me

Strawberries

I have more than 15 years experience in communicating with rural, agricultural, food and academic audiences.

After completing a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture at The University of Sydney, I started my career at Sydney-based food purveyor and meat processing company, Beak & Johnston, as their first graduate management trainee.

I have been managing web content since 1998 when I helped to develop the Australian Food Safety website (www.safefood.net.au), which is still in operation.

I am an Accredited Editor (AE) with Australia's Institute of Professional Editors Inc.
