About Petra

 

Dr Petra Nolan, Director and Principal Writer/Editor

Thanks for visiting Désirée Media’s website.

With over 15 years’ experience in writing, editing, research and project management, I am here to help with all of your editorial and research needs. I have worked extensively in academia and media production, primarily in Sydney, Melbourne and London. Before founding Désirée Media, my last role was as Business and Research Manager at the prestigious Journalism and Media Research Centre at the University of New South Wales.

A published author (of a monograph, ‘Hardboiled Heroes, Deadly Dames’, and several articles), I also hold a PhD in Film Studies from the University of Melbourne, with undergraduate degrees in Media and Communications.

Désirée Media is committed to the delivery of top-quality product. Our love of language and the written word is complemented by a zeal for fashion, design and aesthetics, with a particular focus on vintage fashion, which is both environmentally friendly and fabulous! We have ongoing collaborations with a number of key fashionistas in the vintage game and our stakeholders in New York City.

I am also dedicated to social justice, with a strong belief in giving back to the community. Désirée Media is currently working towards a fundraising venture at the end of 2015, which will raise money for the Black Dog Institute via their Team Black Dog initiatives. We are thrilled to be actively involved in making the world a better place. Watch this space for updates!
