Work with me

I’m a New Zealand-based author, blogger and creative leader.

I’m passionate about inspiring people in the later stages of their careers or early retirees—to be confident, colourful, and visible as they move towards older adulthood and all that entails.

My writing is laced with humour and encompasses opinion, advice, and anecdotes, drawing on my own not uncolourful life and times. I cover topics relevant to my audience, such as health, arts and entertainment, fashion, home and living, relationships, money, and business.

Let’s collaborate!

Never Succumb to Beige is a book, a blog, and a great call to action. The media in NZ, including national radio, national print media, and a range of senior and other networks, have given my book a lot of attention and great reviews. People tell me they love my interviews. My message is striking a chord in NZ, and I am ambitious about taking it to other markets.

What I can offer:

  • Conference keynote or panellist
  • Subject interviews and podcasts
  • Sponsored posts
  • Content creation
  • Freelance writing — articles and columns
  • Audiobook narration
