ABOUT JO CASAMENTO

Hi Y’all! I’m Jo. Welcome! I’m a single mum of three rambunctious teenagers (boy/girl twins Maximus & Matisse and my youngest daughter, Allegra, who is definitely the boss of the household), plus a step mum (or I like to say bonus mum) to my beautiful stepdaughter, who we have always called Ba. There’s also a bossy cat, Mr Fluff, and a pampered pooch, Minty Fresh, in the mix too. When I’m not cleaning up after the brood, I’m a vibrant, dynamic and well-respected journalist, media commentator and MC with over two decades of experience spanning TV, Radio, Newspapers, Magazines, Digital and Social Media in Australia. These days I’m also a podcaster, MC, content creator and influencer. Oh and I’m working on becoming a marriage celebrant. You gotta stay with the times right!? But above all I cherish my family and am trying my best to merge my traditional Italian upbringing with the modern world! I think it’s a journey many can relate to.
