Lisa was appointed Editor of the Castlemaine Mail in 2016 after an involvement with the Mail which spanned over 25 years. Whilst a student at Castlemaine High School, she began contributing local junior football reports via a Media Studies partnership with the Mail. Lisa was later offered a cadetship at the Midland Express in Kyneton. Two years later she transferred to the Castlemaine office to work on a broad range of local news. She became a sports journalist and later stepped up to the Senior Journalist role covering all facets of news for the Castlemaine Mail and Midland Express. The small team at the Mail gathers its stories, takes most of their own photographs and designs their own page layouts. Lisa has worked on the company’s Tourist News and Wedding publications, features and undertaken relief work in editor roles for the Midland Express and Castlemaine Mail. Lisa said she is always surprised by the diversity, passion, determination and success of local sports people of all ages and loves telling their stories.
