Merryn Porter is a print and digital journalist with more than 25 years' experience, specialising in news, with a particular interest in women's and family matters.
When not interviewing people and writing stories about their lives, you will find her scouring the news and scrolling through social media looking for the next story.
She lives in Sydney with her husband, two teenage children and dog Max, and yearns for the time when her kids were as excited to see her at the end of the day as Max is when she returns from the letterbox.
