Award-winning writing

Two years running I was highly commended in the Excellence in Nutrition Journalism Awards (Dietitians Association of Australia). First, “Be kind to yourself, you’ll eat better“ (for SBS news online) was highly commended for being “of a very high standard – including being evidence-based, well written and practical.”

Then I was again highly commended for “Going against the grain risks disease and weight gain.” The judges described this piece as “accurate and practical, with high public benefit.“
