About Karyn Starmer

Karyn Starmer is a second career journalist working in print, radio and digital media after completing a Masters in Journalism.
Karyn began her working life as a financial markets trader for an international bank but wandered away from Sydney in search of a better life balance.
Passionate about the challenges of the changing media landscape, building a thoughtful, intelligent voice is at the heart of all her work.
Living the best of both worlds, Karyn has lived on the South Coast since 1999, but calls Canberra her second home and spends a lot of time on the Kings Highway.
