About me
I'm Helen Cronin and Scratchpad is me.
I have worked as a publications manager in the financial planning and higher education sectors and communications officer in the telecommunications sector. As co-director for seven years of a successful small manufacturing business, I gained invaluable experience meeting marketing challenges.
On the side, I've written submissions for the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard; media releases, web site and marketing material for a pyrotechnic company; and articles for the Astronomy Society of Victoria's magazine, Crux.
When I don't have my nose in a book (I can even cook and read), I'll be out on one of my four bicycles.
