Experience

I graduated high school with a 99.1 ATAR, achieving 7 band 6/E4 results and placing second in NSW in Indonesian Continuers. I went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws at the University of Sydney and worked as a legal professional and researcher for seven years. I am now an IPEd-accredited editor, having edited novels and non-fiction books for top Australian publishing houses, and I also have a creative writing practice of my own. I have recently received a grant from Creative Australia to pursue the completion of my first novel. Safe to say, I know what it takes to not only learn how to write but also to pursue a goal to its end!

I have experience running group and one-on-one creative writing and editing workshops with adults of all ages, but particularly young adults aged 18-30, as well as facilitating creative process spaces with high-school children and adults. These workshops were conducted while I worked at the Writing & Society Research Centre at Western Sydney University, and at the Faber Writing Academy at Allen & Unwin. I also have experience tutoring primary and high-school aged children in English and Mathematics.
