I’m predominantly a filmmaker and content creator from regional NSW but I am also an artist, researcher and educator. I have extensive experience working across industries such as arts, education, agriculture, technology, sports and more.

I have a reputation for creating great content, communicating the complex, working with young people, cultural sensitivity, creative problem solving, reliability and efficiency.

I'm always keen to hear about new opportunities and collaborations so please don't hesitate to get in touch.
