A self-described “military brat,” Felicity was born in Europe and is well-traveled. While living in Australia, she worked as a copywriter and as a reporter covering myriad topics from arts to oil and gas before moving to Europe with a journalism career opportunity. She has firmly planted her presence in Europe, based in London, while traveling and covering the international wine market. Among the many topics she has researched and reported on, her in-depth coverage on wine and health and the business of wine are two areas we have been following regularly. Recently she launched a Wine & Health series of her Drinks Insider podcast. Aside from wine topics, Felicity has a keen interest in public health. She has covered many topics on science and medicine in her journalism career.

Amid the shrinking media landscape and the growing pool of writers hungry to place a story and earn a byline, Felicity has managed to establish herself as an in-demand editorial strategist, speaker, wine juror and thought leader on wine topics.  Still, she has found time in career to write about subjects that pique her interest such as travel and animals (including traveling with animals). On her DrinksInsider website, Felicity shares that her greatest professional challenge was “writing about European cities for Delicious magazine and eating 32 French meals in four days.”
