About Lottie Twyford
Lottie Twyford is an early career journalist, most often seen with a long black in hand.
She recently graduated from the ANU with a degree in International Relations and Arts where she developed a passion for all things French - particularly wine.
Having grown up in the UK, New Zealand and Australia, she is soon to call herself an Aussie, although won’t be seen anywhere near a kangaroo.
She loves telling stories, and when not writing, you’ll find her out for a run, or enjoying Canberra’s nightlife with friends.
