Naomi’s earliest writing memories are of sitting down as a small child at an old typewriter, using her solitary pointer finger to type poetry on such topics as the delights of springtime, the splendour of waterfalls, and other beauties of nature.

In grade two she wrote her underappreciated poem ‘Giraffe’s Birthdays’ in which chaos ensues at the birthday table. To this day, Naomi is still resentful that no one recognised the internal rhyming structure of the poem, a form at the base of her writing to this day.

‘Giraffe’s birthdays can be a muddle

when a giraffe steps in a puddle.

It is a disaster at the table when the mother is not able

to control the children.

Naomi has worked extensively in the Australian Arts, Education, Libraries and Bookselling industries, spending time as a scriptwriter and performer in children's entertainment and working as a seasoned performer in theatre education around Australia. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English/Theatre Studies, a Diploma of Education in English/Drama, and has trained with Trinity College London, receiving an Associate Diploma in Speech and Drama.
