With more than ten years in the freelance writing world I have experience in news, feature writing and blogging. While I have focused largely on environmental and conservation topics I also have interest and experience in travel and general writing.  Amongst others I have written for the Daily Maverick, Business Day, Cape Times, The Herald, The Daily News, The Star and Africa Geographic. In 2016 I received a certificate for non-fiction writing from Penquin Random House. I am currently writing a novel.

Background: 

Having completed a diploma in journalism in 1996, I followed a ten year career in the Cape Town film industry as a camera assistant and later a camera operator - back in the days of 35mm film making. In 2006 I changed careers to focus on my writing. I worked as a sub editor and journalist for a Garden Route newspaper. During my maternity years I wrote a blog (www.twinsandchickens.blogspot) aswell as feature articles for magaizines such as Sawubona, South magazine and Living and Loving.  I now freelance for  a variety of publications. I live on a farm in the Garden Route route with my husband and three children.
