Hi, I’m Claire, and I’m a 29-year-old Freelance Writer from the UK, currently based in Sydney, Australia. 

Without sounding like a cliché, I’ve loved writing ever since I was a teenager. Diaries, short stories – you name it, I wrote it. I decided at 14 that I wanted to be a writer in some capacity, and started contributing to publications at the age of 15.

At 18 I studied a BA Hons in Journalism, along with an extensive NCTJ qualification, but fell out of love with Journalism and the ethics of it pretty quickly. 

After graduation, I’d dabbled in freelancing on and off, but needed money quickly, so left my graduate Marketing role and landed myself in the world of recruitment. 

After three and a half years working in recruitment, I was fortunate enough to be exposed to the commercial world, networking with senior individuals, as well as managing a team of 3 people at 22. I realised that I was writing every day, and the “itch” to freelance again came soon after my 24th birthday.

I quit my corporate job and travelled the world whilst freelancing (with a hiatus at home during the pandemic) and lived in Bali, Indonesia for 18 months before deciding to settle in Australia in July 2023. I have a passion for travel (and the sun) and the combination of being able to work my own hours whilst seeing the world is something that has kept me engaged in this profession for so long.

I’m incredibly lucky to have worked with some of the most incredible organisations globally, and the last 5 years have been my best “career years” yet!
