Founder | Digital Marketer | Meridian Digital
Before I dive into my story, let’s talk about you. Sure, I could go on about how I got started and why I do what I do, but honestly? I’m more interested in what brought you here.
If I’ve got this right, you’re ready to take your business to the next level, but you need real support to make it happen. Not just any support, though. You want someone who genuinely cares about you, your business, and your goals for the future. Someone reliable, who’ll be by your side for the long haul—not just a quick project.
If that sounds right, let’s make it happen together.
Supporting you to
achieve your business dreams - today, tomorrow and for years to come

Every business starts
with a problem that needs to be solved
Meridian Digital is no different. For over 10 years, I've worked on federal government programs that help small businesses, like yours, succeed. I loved the work, but I started getting an itch, not a literal itch - that would be weird. But, an itch to do more, be more and to help businesses achieve more. Also, just quietly - the daily 2-hour commute was hell, and as a new mum, I wanted to claw back some of that family time.
Now, I'll admit that I thought long and hard about what I was good at. I thought about what would have me jumping out of bed in the morning. What would give me those goosebump, happy dance moments when a client experienced growth with my input?
I had the skills, work ethic and customer service experience to succeed in my own business. But, what could I do?
Copywriting and website design didn't fall in my lap, I went searching for a new career that played to my strengths, skills and my heart. Over the last few years, I've worked bloody hard on combining my natural wordy talent with extra training and coaching to become damn good at a range of digital marketing goodness (just ask my clients).
Here's what you can expect
when you choose to partner with Meridian Digital
strategic support
We don't just do things willy nilly. Nope, we believe that the foundation of results-driven digital marketing and all that entails (websites, social media, email marketing - you get the gist) is a consistent brand strategy.
partnerships
We're not here to make a quick buck or to finish a project and say 'see ya later'. Experience in business has taught me that long-term partnerships yield amazing results because we love your business as much as you do. We want to see you succeed.
transparency
And, honesty. Because what good is a partnership if it isn't built on trust? Our costs, processes and results won't be hidden. If any issues arise we'll openly discuss them with you and work with you to get any issues resolved as quickly as we can.

who loves coffee, family and doing a bloody good job
I'm a proud Queenslander now, but I was born (and mostly raised) on that little island south of our big island, Tasmania. Before you ask, no I didn't need a passport to come to the mainland and no, you can't see the scar for my second head (that's private).
It was at UTAS that I completed my Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Sociology before spreading my wings and becoming a public servant.
After a stint in Rockhampton and later in Canberra (talk about extremes), I landed in Brisbane. It's here that I met the love of my life and with our three beautiful, headstrong children, I'm experiencing the juggle of family and business first-hand.
I adore BBQs with friends and I love heading to the Sunshine Coast - it's where I hope our next chapter will unfold shortly.
I've completed two of Australia's best courses for copywriters. The exclusive Copywriting Masterclass Course by Belinda Weaver from Copywrite Matters and The Recipe for SEO Success by Kate Toon. But, I'm constantly learning and evolving my skills so that I can add new service offerings that ensure my clients are fully supported on their business journey.
I can't wait to hear about your project.
