With a Bachelor of Communications degree under her (on trend) belt, she’s contributed to various publications, sharing her fashion forecasting and advice as the previous Fashion and Beauty editor for Girlfriend magazine. An apt fit considering she has been a total magazine junkie since she remembers, and was the only girl in her class who could whip up her own perfect ballet bun at age 5.

She has loved animals, nature and words since she was a little girl who spent her weekends either horse riding, reading or at the zoo.
