I’m an investment writer with a background spanning government, telecommunications and financial services. In my current role I develop and distribute investment-related content for Australia’s leading investment research house.
I'm fortunate to have worked within multiple industries, learned from some incredibly talented people, and contributed to some rewarding and worthwhile projects.
Breadth of experience is something I consider invaluable, especially in the world of investments (I wrote about it here).
