Alice grew up around Sydney's pub bands, so her friends were all musos, but writing was her thing. She did a degree in Communications (Journalism) at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).
She worked her way through roles in writing and editing at a range of magazines, including writing travel, lifestyle and food content for the Virgin Australia magazine. She also worked on titles including Entertain Me, Management Today, Weight Watchers Magazine and, eventually, Women’s Health magazine for 10 years.
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. 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 for NRL Touch Football, and eventually a similar role at gym company One Playground.
But Alice loves writing and editing most, so she was thrilled to return to media, to Time Out, where she gets a chance to tell the world what she loves about Sydney, Melbourne and beyond. She adores Sydney, the 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. Yet she also spends a lot of time in Melbourne, checking out its incredible arts scene, restaurants, bars and hotels.
