In the 1980s I was a reporter with the Brisbane Telegraph, specialising in court reporting, local government and state politics, including the intrigue surrounding the final days of Queensland Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen in 1987.

In the 1990s I was a lecturer at the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia, specialising in Journalism Law and newspaper reporting. I supervised the publication of investigative newspaper, The Weekend Independent, later The Queensland Independent, and also wrote an interactive Journalism Law program for the Web with external links and an online discussion forum. My 1998 conference paper, Web-Based Learning in Journalism discusses the advantages and challenges of presenting courses online.

I have also reported for The Australian and Sunday Sun in Brisbane and produced a variety of publications for corporations, government departments, universities and community organisations.

I currently work part-time as a tutor at Griffith University in Brisbane and I am a sales advisor for children's educational books and games company The Learning Ladder.
