writing

I write media releases, profiles, features, in-depth analyses, short explainers, children's books, journal articles, and everything in between. The stories I've pitched have featured in The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, ABC, SBS, and on all major commercial media channels. A few recent examples...

Magpie geese return with Indigenous knowledge and AI

Launching Australia's first edible insect industry roadmap

Celebrating Australia's record solar panel installation

A five-month campaign for the Apollo 11 Moon landing

Indigenous rangers, scientists and Microsoft protecting turtles

Sharing the results of the annual GenCost report

Launching the 'Our Knowledge, Our Way' Guidelines

Science stories from the Darwin Living Lab

The 'Many Lands, Many Seasons' ABC/CSIRO TV show

Leading comms for CSIRO's energy efficiency team

I wrote the 48 species profiles on the Bush Heritage webpage
