Andi Mastrosavas
Andi grew up in Adelaide, which provided her with two things cynicism and a sophisticated palate for wine.
After graduating from film and TV training at Melbourne’s RMIT, took herself to Chicago to study film and new media as a fine art at The School of the Art Institute and concluded those studies with a multimedia degree back at RMIT when the inevitable desire to earn an income overshadowed lofty idealism.
Andi is currently the Deputy Editor at news.com.au and focuses on multimedia and data journalism.

From: They must pay for one’s bitter disappointments
Michael S says:
"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays.
