Reporting from CanberraI’m contracted to Sky News in Australia as a senior reporter and have worked on both Sky News main channel and Sky News Business.

My latest incarnation is as Sky News Sydney Reporter and producer. I covered the Greymouth disaster in New Zealand for Sky News and reported live from Canberra in the most recent Federal election.

My career history can be accessed at LinkedIn.

I’ve been a broadcaster for 11 years. I also have a passion for the role social media is playing in news.

Before joining Sky News I was a court reporter with Channel Nine in Sydney and a back-up federal politics reporter.

One of my more amazing experiences was being the nightly news presenter…

One of my more amazing experiences was being the nightly news presenter for regional New South Wales. From 2001 until 2005 I was the presenter of Prime News in the central west. It was an important role for a passionate community that valued local news deeply.

I completed my Masters in Organisational Communication at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst in 2009. I’m looking forward to returning in February 2012 to be the commencement speaker for the new year of communication students.

I’m a guest panelist and host for the UK based Media140 events organisation. I spoke on social media and politics at the event hosted by The ABC at Ultimo in 2009.

I live in Sydney’s inner west so you might spot me at a cafe in Newtown with my laptop and the newspapers. Please say hello.
