Work history
Freelance Writer
-
Whilst taking a year out after my studies to travel Australasia, I found some work as a freelance writer for Love Henry.
Love Henry is an Australian owned and run company, delivering vintage inspired childrenswear all over the world. As a freelance writer I was responsible for writing press releases and blog posts. I worked closely with the owner and designers in order to make sure the tone of the piece fit in well with the company. Most recently I wrote the press release, which was featured in NABs (National Australian Bank) ‘Mumtrepreneur’ campaign, which was featured in the national paper The Courier.
Editorial Assistant

After interning for 8 weeks in a paid role, I was offered to take on my job permanently but due to previous travel plans, unfortunately, had to decline.
I was responsible for a variety of tasks including copywriting, conducting email and phone interviews with chefs and clients, and writing profiles for some well-known chefs. Reviewing restaurants in person after attending a tasting, blogging about the latest restaurant and bar openings in the area and liaising with the various PR departments.
I particularly enjoyed attending meetings in which we would discuss potential features for special issues and the brainstorming process, as much as writing the article or piece, which I was assigned. I was responsible for many jobs and enjoyed the responsibility, often taking on more and varying my role further to gain as much experience as possible.
I was responsible for maintaining a strong social media and other online presence for both The Food and Drink Guides and their sister publication Food Festival Finder.
I learnt a great deal about working to deadlines and under strict deadlines, which I found I thrived on.
