Fin J Ross (nee Cameron) was born in Traralgon, Victoria (1961). While her formative school years were spent at Tintern Grammar in Melbourne, she completed her education at St. Anne’s & Gippsland Grammar School in Sale.

She began her journalistic career as a cadet on the Traralgon Journal before joining Leader Associated Newspapers in 1981, initially as a reporter on the Diamond Valley News. She then took up a post on the Knox-Sherbrooke News, ultimately becoming senior reporter. In the late ‘80s she became news editor of the Knox-Sherbrooke News, Ringwood-Croydon Mail, Lilydale Express and the Mountain Districts Free Press.

In 1992, sharing a mutual passion for woodworking with her husband, Steve, the couple turned their hobby into a successful timber giftware manufacturing business, which they ran together for 10 years.

Now embarking on her third career change, and following a sea-change to Eagle Point on the Gippsland Lakes, Fin is turning another passion into a business – running a boarding cattery. She expects to be in her element; minding up to 70 cats.

She is also working part time as a journalist for East Gippsland Newspapers and, when time permits, is writing her first novel.
