Coffee connoisseur. Shutter-bug. Taurean. Thrill-seeker. Singer. Wine Enthusiast. Adventurer. Unicorn!

I have multi-faceted interests in all areas of the Arts, with experience in Film Production and a passion for music and singing. I performed for the first time when I was 6years old singing, "Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas!" for a Christmas Country Music Festival west of Mackay. I continued singing and recorded an E.P when I was 16 as part of a Music Assignment in High School. I then performed at our year 12 Graduation ceremony, a song that 'reflected our high school experience', so I sang a Powderfinger song called, 'Up and Down and Back Again.' After a few years in the workforce, I decided to go to the States as a 21st Birthday present to myself. This adventure took me to L.A, Vegas, Portland and New York. Whilst in L.A, I got chosen to be in the audience for the Jimmy Kimmel show and performed the theme song to spiderman movie, ‘Hero’ with the studio band, for the live audience. Disneyland and Universal Studios were among the trip highlights. I also spent 2 weeks in Portland, Oregon with some family and we took a drive through Washington state where we visited a Wolf Park where they house wolves. I got to learn so much about the animals and take some incredible footage as well as seeing the beautiful scenery and mossy green-covered trees.

I returned from my overseas adventure to start my uni degree in Creative Industries; Film and Television Production, major in Creative Writing. Throughout my degree of 5 years, I had some hands-on experience making short films where I have excelled in positions such as Production Manager and Director. On set, I cater to Continuity and Stills Photography as well as involvement in Art Department and Effects Make-Up. In future, I would jump at the chance to be a DOP or AD and would value any production experience that I am offered. I graduated from QUT Kelvin Grove in 2013, and moved to Hobart, Tasmania. I used this time to build my portfolio of nature and landscape photography. By having adventures up the east coast to Bay of Fires, also trekking Cradle Mountain and Cape Raoul.
