I'm a freelance journalist specialising in food and travel and have more than 25 years experience writing news and features. I've just joined the connoisseurs over at The Real Review as Food Writer.

In my early career I worked as a medical writer and editor, picking up a few awards for my work along the way, and later held several high-level corporate and government communications positions.

I've written two non-fiction books - A Marvellous Party, a biography of celebrity chef Bernard King, and Kink: A Straight Girl's Investigation. I have two sons and live with my husband in Sydney.
