I am a creative professional currently working in the media production industry.

I have a passion for the unknown and love embarking on new adventures where I can leverage my skills and learn some new ones. My favourite part of working on a big project is those final crucial steps where everything could go very wrong or very right depending on a few key decisions. I love working in fast-paced environments and always challenge myself to make everything I do bigger and better than what I did yesterday.

For me, spontaneity is key. I would dread living a life where I knew exactly what I would be doing the next day, next week or next month. Being in a position where I am given unexpected challenges and expected to adapt quickly to my surroundings helps me thrive and stay excited about a project.

I have a passion for music - I don't discriminate by genre but I will only fall in love with musicians who are truly good at what they do. I think a true test of a musician's skill is hearing them perform live. For me, a perfect live performance isn't about sounding exactly like the album, or hitting every note perfectly but creating an amazing experience for the fans. In a way that's how I aspire to live my life - not everything is going to turn out perfect, or how I expected it to go in the first place. But as long as it is a positive experience, I'm happy to go along for the ride!
