I'm a long-time investigative journalist who started off in New York City, ended up in Sydney, and likes nothing better than to shine a spotlight on underhanded behaviour in the financial services industry. But I also get a kick from highlighting what's right about the industry and helping consumers make smart choices.

I came to CHOICE by way of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, a role that was preceded by a stint at the Australian Financial Review. I've also been a comms manager for a sales-driven boutique financial services firm in Sydney – an experience that inspired me to apply for the ASIC job.

Aside from finance, I research and report on a wide range of issues in the consumer marketplace – there never seems to be a shortage of them. I'm a member of the NSW Fair Trading Advisory Council.
