Years spent reporting for Monocle magazine saw Mikaela journey from Beirut to Berlin, San Francisco to Vilnius uncovering what makes cities and societies tick.
Mikaela then went on to serve as the founding Editorial Director for Sydney media start-up Exceptional Alien, where she helped shape and build its content platform.
Now based in Brisbane, Mikaela reports across Australia (and the globe) on culture, travel, renewable energy, urbanism and design.
Over the years she’s produced editorial and branded content pieces for Monocle, Konfekt, Broadsheet, Side-Note, Exceptional Alien, New York Times’ T Brand Studio, Wall Street Journal’s The Trust, and The Times’ branding partner Raconteur.
Beyond the realm of media, Mikaela has applied her expertise in content to work on special projects for the Queensland Government Department of Energy and Climate, Tourism Australia, South East Queensland Council of Mayors, Howard Smith Wharves, Lendlease and Walker Corporation.
