Hi, I’m Kirsty, a writer, tutor, and creative based in Nelson Bay, frequently in Newcastle and Sydney. My background spans law, international education, hospitality, and the arts. I have a deep passion for storytelling—whether through words, images, or performance.
For many years, I worked in the hospitality industry, managing restaurants and developing a deep appreciation for food, wine, and customer service. This experience shaped my adaptability, communication skills, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life—skills that continue to influence my work today.
I currently work in international student exchange, facilitating high school immersion programs between France and Australia. My work allows me to foster cultural connections and support young people in gaining invaluable international experiences.
As a writer, I contribute show reviews to What’s the Show and share personal reflections, travel stories, and discussions on social issues—such as gender, LGBTQIA+ rights, homelessness, and asylum seeker rights—on my blog. I am also co-writing a book with Ellen Riley that examines sexual violence laws in Australia and globally. The book will serve as both a legal resource and a guide for survivors navigating the legal system and recovery. If this is a project that interests you, we would love to hear from you at making.it.stop.au@gmail.com!
I also work as a tutor, offering private lessons in French, English, and humanities subjects for students of all levels. Having studied and worked in France, I bring both academic expertise and real-world experience to my teaching, helping students gain confidence and achieve their learning goals.
Beyond writing and tutoring, I have a passion for film photography, capturing moments that blend nostalgia and intimacy. I also enjoy a variety of creative pursuits, including burlesque and pole dance, which allow me to explore self-expression and performance.
This website is a hub for my work in writing, tutoring, and creative pursuits. Feel free to explore!
