Writer in residence: Alexandra Almond
Alexandra Almond lives and works on Bunurong land in Melbourne (Naarm) with her tennis-ball obsessed Labrador, Captain. Before turning her hand to writing, her previous roles included stable hand, clown, HR assistant, flower buyer, procurement manager, cleaner and human-centred designer, which is her current day job. She might have included footballer on that list if the AFLW had arrived three decades earlier … and if she had any ability. She likes trains, books, dogs and cups of tea. Her favourite colour is green.
