Contributor & Former Editor | Urban List NZ
 
                        
                    Alice has been spilling her secrets about Tāmaki Makaurau for Urban List readers since 2021, continuing to contribute even when she was gallivanting around the world. With over a decade of experience in content, copywriting, editing and digital media, she sure knows how to wield a word and can tone-twist in a way that makes a packet of twisties look sloppy. She’s also that unhinged personal trainer (find her at STRONG Pilates).
In 2024 she put her passport away for safe-keeping and spent 12 months as the Editor of Urban List New Zealand. But nomad runs in her blood (alongside an ungodly amount of matcha) and that’s seen her return to contributing once more, focusing on health and wellness, food, sustainable fashion, and, in a twist that’ll surprise nobody, travel.
When she’s not setting her keyboard on fire, whipping up eyeball-grabbing reels, or being death stared by pilates clients for her “creative counting,” you’ll find her wandering around art exhibitions, watching a gig at Basement Theatre or prepping her backpack for her next big trip.
