About Me

I’m more than a journalist, although journalism has been at the heart of every aspect of my career so far. I’m a creative thinker, relationship builder and manager, communications expert, campaign planner, editor, people manager and solution seeker, who is deft at pivoting.

I have helped launch a powerhouse community news website and social media platform for the Moreton Bay region from scratch, during a global pandemic, as well as numerous print publications since 2010.

My career has spanned 28 years, so far, with work published in newspapers, magazines and online. I've interviewed Prime Ministers, supercoaches and sporting stars, musos, authors, media icons and everyone in between. My passion is storytelling and giving everyday people a voice.

Thirty minutes with Ita

Media and business trailblazer Ita Buttrose AC OBE is a popular speaker for good reason – she’s seen it all since she entered the industry as a 15-year-old copy girl and has learnt some valuable lessons along the way.
Her first public speaking appearance since the arrival of COVID-19 was at a Business Moreton Bay Region luncheon last Friday. It’s a presentation that was cancelled twice due to border restrictions and the journey from Sydney to Brisbane was her first on an aeroplane since the pandemic...

Getting to know Mayor Peter Flannery | Moreton Life Magazine

There’s no more challenging time to be mayor of Australia’s third largest council, but Peter Flannery says he’s always been up for a challenge, whether that’s serving in the Army, driving a taxi or even abseiling off highrises to clean windows. His resume before being elected to council in 2004 does not read like your typical career politician’s and Peter says all those experiences have made him a better councillor and now mayor.
