Fire has driven me since I was a teenager. A burning desire for challenge, experiences and learning took me from primary school debate teams to becoming the first Capricorn Coast Junior Council Mayor. From a scholarship to Bond University to graduating top of my degree in Business Communications. Through selection for the DDB Advertising Graduate Program, a position on their top account McDonald’s Australia, then McCann Erickson’s largest account (MasterCard Australia) and over to the UK.
There I experienced bouts of both flame extinguishing and fuelling: working on large communication projects that took me to Geneva, Dubai, Paris and Dublin for Nokia, Virgin and Visa, and then finally a jump head-first into filmmaking. For the past 10 years I have continued to juggle the production of feature films and commercials with providing Client Services for internationally renowned clients, and 2015 saw me take the position of Head of Production at a feature film company in Sydney.
