From cadet to columnist to commentator.
In print
Jo's name is synonymous with showbiz in Sydney. She co-launched the hugely successful News Corp brand Sydney Confidential and has broken thousands of the city's most-read stories through columns in The Daily Telegraph, The Sun-Herald, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Sunday Telegraph and The Australian — where her career began as a cadet.
On screen
A decade as a regular guest host on Studio 10 and guest panellist on The Project, with regular appearances across Sunrise, The Morning Show, Wake Up, The Today Show, Mornings, Today Tonight and Sunday Night. Her first TV role? A Beauty on Network Ten/Foxtel's Beauty & The Beast.
On air
Entertainment reporter for 2GB, 2UE and the Kyle & Jackie O Show, with weekly screen segments on Ticker TV, Austereo, 4BC and 2GB. These days she hosts the Plus One podcast with her daughter Matisse — honest takes, a little sass and their signature choc-top ratings.
With heart
Jo is passionate about advocating for refugees, asylum seekers, survivors of human trafficking and First Nations communities. She is a proud ambassador for Barnardos Mother of the Year, The SOFA Project and Autism MATES, and has worked in marketing and communications for several Sydney not-for-profits.
