I have been a health journalist and writer since 1992 and written for publications in Australia, UK, New Zealand and South Africa including:

  • client magazines (MBF's Living Well, David Jones Magazine)
  • general magazines (New Woman, Mother & Baby)

I am fascinated by a wide range of health topics and keen to write (news story, feature or book) on any of the following:

  • Children's health
  • Parenting
  • Pregnancy
  • Women's Health
  • Older aged health

  • Specific problems (heart disease, arthritis etc.)
  • Or any other health topic My skills also include taking a good brief, writing at a level that is appropriate for the target readership and submitting finished work on time.
