Lara

Freelance journalist

Drawing on more than 15 years' experience writing and editing for some of Australia's best-loved brands, my background in food, travel and lifestyle publishing has given me a thorough understanding of a wide range of subjects and their relevant demographics, enabling me to connect with the interests of CHOICE readers.
Beginning my career at Qantas magazine, I've lent my creativity and attention-to-detail to publications such as donna hay magazine, Feast magazine, delicious., escape, and SBS Food.
As the former editor of Australian Traveller magazine and digital editor-in-chief of both Australian Traveller and International Traveller, I curated fascinating and engaging content and also worked closely with commercial partners to deliver their messages to new audiences. I now freelance for a range of lifestyle publications, businesses and not-for-profits.
As a CHOICE author, I enjoys researching products and services to share this knowledge with consumers, helping them to make well-informed choices.
