I joined CHOICE in 2008 as a work experience student while studying my Bachelor of Science (Nutrition and Food) at the University of Western Sydney. I've been with CHOICE ever since.  My first job was in a room full of muesli, collecting all their nutritional data. When I completed my course, CHOICE offered me a full-time position as a Test Officer in the Kitchen Lab. In 2009, I moved into the role of household content producer. I write about a wide range of children's and household products, ranging from cots and strollers to ovens, BBQs, espresso machines and electric blankets. I even write about grocery items such as nappies, sanitary pads and laundry detergents. I love my job and the extremely talented and passionate group of people I work with. I love knowing that our research, testing and results go a long way to helping consumers with their buying decisions by highlighting great products – and singling out poorly performing ones. You can find me on LinkedIn.

Martha first joined CHOICE back in 1995 while completing a Bachelor of Science degree. She bounced from the laundry lab and kitchen lab to the general lab and fridge lab testing all sorts of products, which put her in good stead to become a content producer for the next 15 years, where she would project manage and write about household products with a focus on major appliances.  In 2015 she left CHOICE to focus on being a mum and pursue other interests, but in 2021 she returned and joined our resident home economist Fiona Mair in the CHOICE kitchen lab. She assisted Fiona in cooking up delicious food while testing kitchen appliances, helped conduct taste tests, and refined and designed test methods for new products in order to arm consumers with the right information to make informed purchasing decisions.
