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 Life
I’m a survivor of childhood family violence and teen catfishing, with a book and movie currently in development.
My Career
I’ve studied Journalism and Marketing, grown a website to 500k views p/m, and marketed across a range of industries for over a decade.
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.
