What I Do

I’m a reporter, editor and host with 20 years experience in Australia and the United States. I’ve held senior positions at Channel 10, The Source Magazine, Daily Mail, SiriusXM Radio, DrJays.com and founded and edited Australia’s most successful Hip-Hop magazine, Urban Hitz, when I was 23 years old. I’ve worked across print, radio, TV and digital arms of media and have been an active mentor for young women since the beginning of my career.
