“I think there’s a story in this,” I said once. Then I built a career around the buzz these words give me.

Relationship therapy for madison magazine, testing dating apps for Cleo before Tinder was even a thing — I’ve tackled some ridiculous assignments.

High profile celebrities and regular folks who’ve done remarkable stuff have told me their stories. For a while, I wrote the Australian Financial Review’s executive property section. I used to get paid to live-tweet The X-Factor, too. That was fun.

Today I work as a copywriter and freelance journalist. My books, Smashed Avocado: How I cracked the property market and you can too and The Ethical Investor are out now. My latest book, Couple Goals, is available to purchase here. An audio edition can be found on Spotify and Audible.

In 2021, I achieved the long-held goal of purchasing a heritage home. I arrived in the Goldfields town of Ballarat on my own and have since met and married my husband, Sam. We’re restoring our home together while embracing the slow pace of regional life with our fur girls, Frankie and Olive.
