Following my foray into the world of freelance writing, I began writing for a number of publications including the likes of Countrytown.
I first wrote for its sister site The Music in May of 2022, and in September of 2024, I took on a role as the Victorian State Journalist. As part of that role, and since its completion, I’ve continued writing country-focused articles for Countrytown.
