From digging a 4WD out of the Sahara with a sandal, battling it out in a Spanish wine fight festival, and peeling mulberry bark alongside local craftspeople at a Japanese paper mill – I’ve always loved chasing the scent of a good story.

I graduated with a BA in International Media and Japanese at Macquarie University, then worked in a range of Communications roles from local Australian government, to global teams within Expedia Group.

One well-timed layoff later, the best cure for my mid-20s identity crisis seemed like one thing – to learn. I booked a one-way ticket overseas and followed a trail of stories around the world: a travel writing course in Spain, a sustainable tourism program with Asia-Europe Foundation in Slovenia and Croatia, an editorial internship with STORIED magazine in Japan, and more.

Back in Sydney, I’ve completed a Cert. IV in Radio and Podcasting to expand into audio storytelling platforms. I worked as a Content Executive in an SEO-focused digital marketing agency while freelancing for travel and culture content. Now, I’m exploring South Korea on Working Holiday to deep-dive into the local crafts and culture scene by heading straight at the source!
