Stories make the world go round: I am a communicator with broad publishing experience in digital and print media, who loves stories.Based on a life-long study of the English language, my skills include writing, editing, publishing, strategic communications, event organising, digital media and public relations. I am proficient in online content creation and management, newsletter publishing programs, radio broadcasting, scriptwriting, Google and social media platforms.Give me a complicated data set and I’ll thrive on converting it into layman’s terms. I've run a small media company for a couple of decades and worked on regional, state, national and international publications. I’ve spent seven years as Communications Manager on a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. As an extrovert and team player, my colleagues would endorse my aptitude for the written word, my enthusiasm for news and content and my eye for detail.My people skills are second to none and I am a self-starter who’s organised, well-presented and approachable. I listen. I ask thoughtful questions and I can read between the lines. I'm well grounded, I don't suffer fools well, and I’m fair; I don't expect my staff to work any harder than I do.I'm passionate about family, community, art and history, and I have benefitted personally and professionally from many years of volunteer work in my community.
