Miranda Ryan
Born and bred in Sydney, Miranda escaped to the “country” to study Communications at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst. If she were to be remembered there, it would be for her keen ability to find the best dress-ups from Vinnie’s for that week’s uni bar theme, as well as being a member of the winning team for a global advertising competition “Interad” in 2005.
After sticking around to see the infamous race week events at Mount Panorama she realised she had never seen so many mullets before and couldn’t help but wonder what else she hadn’t seen. So she worked at Channel 9 in client strategy research until she’d saved enough money to head overseas and find out. She spent the next 18 months backpacking through Europe, during which she lived and worked in Glasgow long enough to learn the language, but not long enough to dare to eat a deep-fried Mars Bar.
Back home among the gumtrees she’s working for Regional TV Marketing as a research executive and is still wondering what else there is to see.

I'm one of the older ones, so I've certainly seen a few changes in my time. When I started school I learned to write with a nib pen, dipped in an inkwell (no, I'm not kidding). My mother became a dab hand at getting inkstains out of my clothes. Flicking ink at one another in the classroom was an essential… [read more]From: I’d rather have a piece of toast than listen to crap lyrics
