Working at Career FAQs has taught me a lot about life. I’ve learnt that modeling is actually more difficult than writing, the joy of em dashes and to always agree with the boss’ taste in music.

Immersing myself in the world of careers, from the straight-laced to the outright kooky, was probably a natural step for a self-confessed workaholic. When I’m not in hallowed halls of Career FAQs, I spend my days between Channel 9 and Channel 7 liaising for Sky News. I am also finishing off a Masters of Journalism at UTS.
 
Between getting paid to listen to interesting life stories, watching the news as it breaks and the general frivolity that is the Career FAQs office, I don’t think I’ll be using our fabulous resources to jump ship to a career in pole dancing or taxidermy anytime soon.
 
In my spare time I like adventure sports as they take the attention off me being a massive wimp, and having lavishly over-catered dinner parties.
