Hi there, I am a writer, creative, podcaster, and skier.
I love telling and capturing stories with my words, podcast, or visually with my camera.
Formally, have a Double Degree Ba Arts (Journalism), Ba Commerce (Marketing) from Curtin University, class of 2018. University allowed me to gather the skills I needed to put me on the path I dreamed of, becoming a storyteller.
Born and raised in Perth, Western Australia with a love instilled for the outdoors and mountains from a young age. I was injected with a crazy, to go to the ends of the earth to ski. Let’s be real, Perth is about as far away as you can get from snow life. Growing up skiing turned into a stint as an alpine ski racer after high school, which was an exciting time of development.
In 2015 I started my studies and was loving university, but the mountains were still pulling at my heart. So the Australian 2015 winter, I was hired as a ski instructor which allowed me to open up a new chapter of adventure, more mountain time, and travel while studying. It sure was a juggle but we do crazy things for passion.
Sure, the mountains are where I feel most at home but I believe everyone needs a mixture of culture. I have eclectic taste, in my time away from the mountains you can find me wandering art galleries, finding the perfect latte, brunching with friends, pretending I know something about wine, picking up random hobbies, tapping away at my laptop, chasing golden-hour with my camera or curled up with a good book.
In 2019, I started a podcast called The Mountain Cosmos, which is about life in the mountains. You can read about it or listen under the podcast tab.
These days, I reside at Mt Hotham in the Victorian High Country, or, between creating and living life.
