​Hey there,
​
​I'm Carmel, a Sydney-based medical and lifestyle journalist and editor with decades of experience in writing about health, wellbeing and people.
​
My day job is news editor at a major medical publishing group, and my side hustle is freelance writing for national titles such as Sunday Life, Body + Soul, Good Health and Health Agenda.
​
Finding fascinating people, ideas and research that make life more interesting, or better or healthier, and sharing their stories, is what I love to do.
