I absolutely love diving deep into a topic for a feature article, or interviewing creatives and business owners for profile pieces.


My words have been published in print and online publications including The Mercury, MiNDFOOD, Junkee and Bridge magazine.


Below are some of my recent feature articles.

‘Nyrstar Tasmania’

A three-part feature for The Mercury exploring Nyrstar's role in Tasmania, from workforce skills and career opportunities to the local businesses supporting its Hobart operations.

‘Are Celebrity Jumpscares Killing Our Immersion?’

A cultural commentary essay for Junkee.

‘By Hand and By Heart’

A feature in the June 2026 issue of MiNDFOOD magazine about Project Vietnam International (and also features my very inspiring father-in-law!)
