Bio

I am an experienced media professional with over 15 years experience running a PR agency who counted Westfield, Jamie Oliver, Athletics Australia, NSW Government, QLD Government, State of Origin and more as clients. During my time building and leading Bango PR, I had the privilege of employing a team of 13 exceptional communications professionals. I love trail running, a sport that has seen me travel to regional areas for trail events that I never would have known to visit otherwise. I am passionate about inspiring more regional travel of our beautiful country. Ever the creator, I have launched RegionalExplorer.com.au and am working within this new business as the content editor to help regions create content that uses storytelling to connect, drive action, and help inspire visitation. My experience means that I can add value to regions consulting on events and the amplification of these events to attract more visitation. Having worked in events and media, I understand what it takes to drive media interest, and where the gaps are that I am able to help elevate to achieve the desired results. Alongside RegionalExplorer is an agency of exceptional creators and storytellers who create high-quality content that dives deeper, and helps ‘out of towners’ get to know a region on a deeper level, a level that connects. Feel free to reach out if you have any stories you want to share. I bloody love a story. PR credentials include; Jamie Oliver, Jetts Fitness, Greencross Vets, Puma Energy, Canningvale, The Sydney Coliseum, Zero Co, RedEarth Energy Storage, West HQ, Zero Co, Muval, Sunnybank Plaza, Sunnybank Park, Toowong Village, Redbank Plaza, Retail First, Garden City Westfield, Chermside Westfield, North Lakes Westfield, The Coffee Club, Guzman Y Gomez, and more.
