She has advised the most senior levels of the Australian Defence Force, oil industry, scientific community and the health sector, to name but a few.

With a strong background in electronic media, Katrina started her journalistic career in 1986 with ABC radio in Melbourne, where she held positions such as senior news and current affairs reporter, chief of staff and chief sub-editor.

In the late 1980s she was the ABC’s National Financial Correspondent reporting for national news as well as the AM and PM programmes.

In 1991, Katrina was chief Victorian political correspondent during the last months of the Kirner Government and the rise of the Kennett era.

After many years of radio, Katrina joined ABC television as a presenter and reporter for The Investigators. 

After leaving the media to pursue opportunities within public affairs, Katrina acted as a media adviser and strategist for some of Victoria’s leading legal and accounting firms, the Victorian Education Department, a  wide range of publicly-listed companies and was media adviser to the Northern Aboriginal Legal Aid Service during the landmark Stolen Generations litigation.

In 1998, Katrina returned to the finance sector as National Public Affairs Manager for the Financial Planning Association (FPA).

Katrina joined Media Manoeuvres in 2000 and has been a valuable member of the Media Manoeuvres training and issues/crisis management team. She has trained many of Australia’s executives from the most senior levels through to frontline personnel who need to face the media. She covers all types of media encounters, but particularly the pressured and reputational risk management interviews from imminent  or current issues/crises.
