THE TOON TEAM

Christina is one of life’s all-rounders and prides herself on being an ‘infomaniac’ (but don’t read that aloud in public). She worked at TAFE in corporate communications, then as a community journalist and program producer for Local ABC Radio.

Christina now uses her varied work experience in her administration/bookkeeping business, Get Simply Sorted.

Christina joined the Clever Copywriting Community four years ago. She was a self-professed ‘lurker’, yet her affinity and love for proofing publications gave her the courage to become a Stay Tooned team member.

Tony, aka The WP Guy, has been using WordPress since 2008 and after building a lot of websites has hung up his spurs on building new websites and has moved to providing ongoing support, fixes, website health checks and training for WordPress website owners.

As part of Toon team, she helps with the overflow of digital marketing work, including memberships, podcast schedules, socials and whatever else needs doing.

Although not a fan of the gym, she likes early morning Pilate classes, going for a walk or a swim, and most days, gets her hips moving with her pink Powerhoop.

She also admits to being a slightly obsessed podcaster listening to anything from true crime to business experts.

On her days off, Wendy loves to hang out with family or friends and often, on a Sunday afternoon, will challenge her other half to a game of Sequence or Rummy-O over a glass of Pinot Gris.
