I’m Dellaram. Writer, wife and mother of three.
My whole life, I’ve loved meeting people from all walks of life and unearthing their stories. That’s why I decided to pursue a career in journalism.
Since completing my degree more than 14 years ago, I’ve been using my passion to meet people from different backgrounds, sharing their tales and showcasing how they are contributing to the betterment of their communities.
My work has appeared across national publications including Guardian Australia, a range of Nine and Australian Community Media mastheads, Gazette’s West Vic Brolga, One Hour Out, and various lifestyle and travel publications such as frankie, Galah, HOWL and Pandaemonium.
I’ve also spent many years promoting the wonders of my hometown of Ballarat and surrounds – uncovering the multitude of stories that lie hidden in the depths of regional Victoria and sharing them with the world. Check out the book I co-authored, Undiscovered Victoria, here.
With my parents hailing from Iran, and as a Baha’i with a desire to build community, I have a particular interest in multicultural affairs, arts and culture, and stories that cast a spotlight on all that’s good in the world.
So if you’re from around here (or even if you’re not), and you’ve got a story that needs telling, I’d love to help.
Della.
