When Anna Kelsey-Sugg was but a wee pollen-sniffer, her diary had her professional life laid out thusly:

Mondays: writer
Tuesdays: soccer player
Wednesdays: lawyer
Thursdays: pianist
Fridays: dancer

Some twenty years later she's still working on it; and while a different job every day seems a tad tricky, she still likes having a finger in a few different job pies.

When poetry became the focus of her Creative Arts degree, Anna quickly realised the life of a poet might be a tough choice – no Paris-esque artist's dole in Melbourne. She started to get excited about editing: a happy medium between writing to live and not being poor, and a legitimate release for her pretty socially unacceptable love of all things grammatical (she's been known to squeal with glee in conversations about split infinitives and semicolons).

She works part-time with RTW Matters as Assistant Editor where she writes articles based on interviews and current developments in the return to work field, and gathers content for news and events sections of the site. She works closely with Editor Mary Wyatt and Publisher Robert Hughes.

Anna also writes on a freelance basis for newspapers and magazines, and has recently finishing the RMIT Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing, and the University of Melbourne's Graduate Diploma in Italian Studies which she finished off in Bologna - as well as completing a Post-Graduate Diploma in Eating Lots of Everything, for which she received many many accolades.

She didn't become a lawyer – she left that to her brother. She didn't become a pianist either – she left that to her sister. The dancer emerges only at weddings.

The soccer career was slightly impeded by the small issue of her not quite being good enough, but she has played on a soccer team for almost twenty years, and would've played for another twenty had she not done her knee a few months ago – pity, the Matilda's had their eye on her ( ... in her sweet dreams).

One of out five ain't bad.
