Hi there…
I’m Susannah
I’m a Child Violence and Teen Catfishing Survivor, Mental Health Activist, and Digital Marketer based in Toowoomba.
I fell into a writing and marketing career because I love spreading important messages for people who aren’t quite sure how to send them out into the world.
I love people, and I love collecting interesting minds and introducing them to other people in my network.
Where do I start?
A little about me
My life is a little complicated, but every part is something I love; whether it’s time with family, networking with new people, talking about important things in the Media, or creating content for Websites and Social Media.

My Passions
I’m passionate about human rights, digital safety, and mental health. I also love networking, connecting, and spreading important messages.
Let’s get started
Hi, I’m Susannah
I’ve studied Journalism, qualified as a Birth Doula and recently completed a Master of Marketing. I’ve spent 10 years as a Digital Marketer, specialising in SEO and Social Media to grow multiple organic high traffic content websites.
I’m a mental health advocate, with a lived experience of child violence and teen catfishing; there’s an autobiography currently in editing which has been turned into an award winning film script.
I’m also an active local networker, speaker and involved in the community, including co-founding the local Toowoomba Wordsmiths group with Emma Mactaggart and a 40,000 strong flood response page during the Queensland Floods.
I currently work in the renewables and agricultural space, and provide federally funded digital advisory services to small businesses.
I enjoy Startup Weekends, learning new things, beta testing new platforms, and spending time with my blended family of six.
