About me

Since COVID, I’ve been working full-time at ABC North Coast Radio as a producer and presenter. It’s been a remarkable role, giving me the privilege of sharing stories from across the Northern Rivers community—none more poignant than covering the devastating 2022 floods.

Food, however, has never left my heart. For over 15 years, I taught at the internationally renowned Sydney Seafood School, showing guests the beauty of seafood’s simplicity and flavour. That passion led to my regular spot on ABC’s Big Fish program, where I share recipes inspired by the freshest local catch. During this time, I spent in the food publishing industry, conceiving, writing, and styling countless recipes for cookbooks and leading magazines.

I thrive on the seasonal rhythm of fresh produce and the challenge of creating something new and exciting with what’s at hand. I believe cooking should be fun, easy, and full of joy—something I love passing on through recipes designed to be simple, flavourful, and achievable.

My love of food and gardening also came together in Garden2Kitchen, an interactive series of cooking and gardening shows I co-presented with horticulturist Phil Dudman. Together, we inspired audiences at live events and on ABC North Coast’s Good Gardening radio show, where I cooked up seasonal gluts from the garden. I’ve also written recipes and articles for ABC Gardening Australia and contributed to ABC Organic Gardener, developing and styling recipes that celebrated seasonal abundance.

And now, I’m embarking on a new adventure: writing a romance novel inspired by true events. Naturally, food plays a starring role—because food and love, to me, are the perfect marriage.
