Dating expert, journalist and Bad Dates of Melbourne founder.
Throwback! I studied a Bachelor of Arts (Media) and Graduate Diploma of Public Relations at RMIT University back in the day – and had a fantastic time. I spoke to RMIT about my time in lockdown, COVID dating and my advice for those searching for their dream career. Take a gander.

Some reviews from the last BDOM workshop:
“It was brilliant.”
“The workshop helps a lot and boosts up your confidence.”
“It was awesome.”
“I learnt so much – honestly, it’s like getting the ‘cheat codes’ to the apps. I’ve been putting some tips into practice and it’s already paying off with my chats.”
The Work-Shop is BYO so if you’d like to bring something special to drink, please go ahead.
The Bad Dates of Melbourne Workshop goes for three hours and wraps up at 9pm. You will get a workbook to take home. We’re a short walk from the Fitzroy bar scene, so you may want to head out with other participants after. I might join you after I pack up. The class is capped at 20 people.
This workshop is for everyone, whether you are confident or a little shyer. I’m a friendly person and will do my best to make you feel comfortable – don’t be afraid to come solo.
The last workshop was SOLD OUT: so grab a ticket before they go!
