Could a ripped Portman be a sign of the patriarchy being crushed under Thor’s hammer? Let's hope so! @theage @smh smh.com.au/lifestyle/health-…
"I imagine my former school bullies watching that episode of Stranger Things with their own kids, feeling a pang of regret for being one of those who dampened another child’s sparkle." Read my #bullying op-ed in @theage

I flew to Sydney last week to help organise an industry networking event with about 170 #wedding suppliers in attendance. Watch this video to see how it went (spoiler alert: it went really well!) youtube.com/watch?v=O2PvZd9u…
Hopefully I don't get excommunicated from the Maltese community over this one! 😘 🇲🇹 #woglife #wogs #sorrymum smh.com.au/lifestyle/life-an…
I used to have a dating blog, so I channelled that energy to write this op-ed about how dating can prepare us for job interviews. Perfect timing because I started my new job at Easy Weddings today!

Who else has an ongoing battle with imposter syndrome? A trainee reporter at @theage wrote this very relatable piece. theage.com.au/business/workp…
Sadly, modern society is not as progressive as we think it is, when it comes to the #gender divide in relationships. The struggle is very real. So I wrote an op-ed for @theage and @smh about it. theage.com.au/lifestyle/life…
Finishing up at @Bare today with this epic spot on The Project last night, covering the living memorial we arranged for Aberfeldie Bowls Club President, Nigel Thompson.
I'll be leaving the funeral industry for weddings, as comms manager at @easyweddings
It's always hard to say goodbye to a loved one, and sadly, the kind words spoken at the funeral are unheard of by the person who would've appreciated them the most. That's what led Nigel Thompson to take advantage of a novel solution.

I shared my take on #weddingtraditions - their weird origins and our spin on them - in this op-ed for @theage & @smh smh.com.au/lifestyle/life-an…
I picked up my @Deakin graduate diploma today! It looks pretty swish hanging in my study next to Elvis, my journalism degree and the typewriter I used to write my little stories on as a '90s kid. The King says hi @SallyAtDeakin
Last year, @Bare was ranked one of the AFR's most innovative companies, won t Customer Service Institute of Australia small business award, and was a finalist for six other businesses awards.
Super proud to have worked on these submissions and pitches. loom.ly/x79DT_g
As a @Deakin ulum, I was asked to participate in a video series project through the university's communications faculty, for the Student Stories Content Hub.
In this video, I talk about what I learned about digital media. I hope it inspires others. youtube.com/watch?v=jr5NJ3fy…
Rihanna might make pregnancy look cool, but I'm not giving up my sleep! I wrote an opinion piece about it. smh.com.au/culture/celebrity…
I just realised that a 1999 article I wrote for Yahoo has been referenced in a some academic texts on transmedia including a PHD thesis! If I'd thought of it sooner, I could have referenced it in my own uni essays! My article is here: au.news.yahoo.com/guys-wanna…
The first funeral I ever went to was my grade 1 teacher's dad's, which my classmates attended together. It helped normalise death and grief for me from a young age.
I wrote about it for the @barecremation blog here: bare.com.au/death-grief-taug…
