After several years working at the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, I made the crazy YOLO decision to leave the safety net and lean into my dream of becoming a writer, podcaster and innovator.I am author of The Joyful Frugalista, host of The Joyful Frugalista podcast, Youtuber, money coach, and I run online courses on money and finance. I help people save money and live more meaningful lives. My vision is to encourage people to become frugalistas – spending less and saving more (with joy) on the path to financial empowerment. I'm committed to empowering women financially, and this includes supporting women to follow their dreams - where it may lead.You will see me on TV and hear me on radio from time to time. My appearances have included on Studio 10, Today Extra, Sunrise, Your Money Live, Mums at the Table, ABC Radio National and radio programs around the country. She has been featured in The Canberra Times, The Star (Canada), Money Magazine, the Sydney Morning Herald (and other Fairfax publications), Sun Herald, Woman’s Day, New Idea, That’s Life, Kidspot, The Reader’s Digest, Daily Mail and Body & Soul (Sydney Morning Herald). I'm also quoted quite a lot as well..I also write on personal finance for other publications including Money Magazine and MoneySaverHQ, and I write develop recipes and write articles for Australia’s Best Recipes. I love rediscovering the retro, as well as recreating favourite foodie meals from my travels in Taiwan, China, Singapore and elsewhere.
