A born activist, she began her career at Greenpeace where she served as a communications director between 1999 and 2003. One highlight of her activist career was when she climbed the hospital incinerator to raise awareness about its hazards. She joined The Sunday Times in 2008 as an assistant editor but left in 2010 to run her own business with then partner Tolga Temuge, a former executive of Birdlife. Their company, East To West Communications focused on providing communications consultancy to NGOs. But soon after the last general election she returned to Times of Malta as a journalist, eventually being appointed News Editor. Tellingly, as a student, her research focused on ‘Democracy and Activism in the Age of Spin’. Read her old blog for more insight.
