Just a very quick post from me today to share some recent pieces I’ve had published.

These three links say more than I ever could about the diversity of work that comes my way as a freelancer!

Inspiring Tasmanian Stories

April 3, 2023 DorkyMum

Brand Tasmania have been showcasing the inspiring stories of women across the state, and I’ve been lucky enough to work on a few of those pieces.

For an incredible overview of the industries and communities across Tassie that women are involved with, check out the video that was commissioned for International Women’s Day... and then maybe take some time to dig deeper into the individual profiles.

I’ll look forward to sharing a few more Tasmanian stories with you soon!
