Sylvie Maloney
How long have you lived in Parkes? I was born in Parkes but left to complete my BA in Advertising and Marketing in Bathurst. I continued on to the Sunshine Coast where I studied Graphic Design and Photography while working in a photo lab, and then moved to Port Macquarie to work in communications. I came back home in 2012 to my family and friends.
What do you enjoy the most about living in Parkes? Being a rural kid growing up on a large property, I have a great appreciation for the land and love the friendly, caring nature of the locals.
What do you do for work? I work for the Parkes Phoenix newspaper as an Advertising Executive and run my own Photography business called Chemical Creations Photography.
What do you enjoy most about your work? I really enjoy all the amazing people I get to meet through both workplaces. I love fast paced environments and enjoy creating memories with a camera!
What makes your day? The fact that I enjoy my jobs and have two awesome puppies at home along with a lovely partner, family and friends makes life pretty spectacular!
How do you like your coffee? With a shot of hazelnut.
Who would you like to have dinner with? Either the writer and psychologist Scott Peck or artist Frida Kahlo, I can’t decide.
