Writing

I am a versatile writer with over 10 years’ experience as a freelance writer. Much of my work falls in the themes of intercultural exchange, sustainability and human rights.

I write content that tells important stories in engaging ways. I’m finishing a PhD in creative writing and I have wide experience as a copy editor, so I love coming up with story ideas as well as getting the text just right. I believe that creative storytelling is important in any sector, and I have applied my writing and resource development skills to a diverse range of organisations, such the International Organisation for Migration (Thailand office), Leher (India) and Diaspora Action Australia. Whether it’s synthesising information for a general readership or building understanding of an organisation’s activities, I seek to to help communicate the important work of organisations to diverse stakeholders.

Types of content I develop

• Publications
• Case studies
• Articles
• Reports
• Learning resources
• Creative storytelling

Arts and culture – intercultural

I bring my experience as an arts manager in Australia and Singapore to my freelance writing. I have written for culture360.ASEF.org since 2015 and I was a staff writer at Art Radar (2016-18), writing about contemporary Asian art. I have written over 130 articles and I have a particular focus on intercultural exchanges, sustainability and the business of the creative industries.
