Alice grew up around Sydney's pub bands, so her friends were all musos, but writing was her thing. After starting an Arts Degree majoring in English at the University of Sydney, she made a switch to journalism, and did a degree in Communications at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).
She worked her way through roles in writing and editing at a range of magazines, including working on travel, lifestyle and food content for the Virgin Australia in-flight magazine. She also worked on titles including Entertain Me, Management Today, Weight Watchers Magazine, and a custom publishing title for Lexus.
In 2007, she helped launch Women’s Health magazine in Australia. She started as a sub-editor, worked her way up to features writer, features editor and eventually deputy editor, and for her work in food journalism, she was awarded the
While working on Women’s Health’s Women in Sport campaign, she interviewed athletes daily, and became obsessed with spectator sport – especially women’s sport. She was lucky enough to be a judge in the Sport Journalism category of the Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism.
She spent a decade at Women’s Health, so when she decided it was time to spread her wings and learn new things, this sporting focus led her to move into a marketing and content role at the NRL, for NRL Touch Football, and eventually a similar role at gym company One Playground.
But she loves writing and editing most, so she was thrilled to return to media, to Time Out, where she gets a chance to support her other passion: Sydney. She adores this diverse place she's always called home – from the scruffy music venues of her childhood, like The Bridge Hotel, to her new favourites, such as Lazybones, as well as all the incredible restaurants, beaches, bushwalks (and sporting events!) in between. She feels lucky to spend her weekdays exploring the city for work, and her weekends with her husband and son.
