Martha first joined CHOICE back in 1995 while completing a Bachelor of Science degree. She bounced from the laundry lab and kitchen lab to the general lab and fridge lab testing all sorts of products, which put her in good stead to become a content producer for the next 15 years, where she would project manage and write about household products with a focus on major appliances.  In 2015 she left CHOICE to focus on being a mum and pursue other interests, but in 2021 she returned and joined our resident home economist Fiona Mair in the CHOICE kitchen lab. She assisted Fiona in cooking up delicious food while testing kitchen appliances, helped conduct taste tests, and refined and designed test methods for new products in order to arm consumers with the right information to make informed purchasing decisions.
