  • BFA in Film, TV & New Media production, Diploma of Business, Bilingual (Spanish).
Brisbane
Driven, professional, detail oriented and friendly 3rd AD. Also keen to also learn more about production - open to producer / director assistant roles. Six years, bringing professionalism and good energy to various roles.

Lists as:

  • Additional ADs
  • Assistant Director - 3rd
  • Director's Assistant
  • Producer's Assistant

I have had the good fortune to work on many high-profile projects in and around the Gold Coast and Brisbane over the last six years.

In that time, I have learned how to manage and navigate big sets with hundreds of extras and work with the best crew members in the country.

I have become comfortable working in high-pressure situations under the best 1st AD’s such as PJ Voeten, Lee Cleary and David Venghaus. Working under such experienced ADs, I have learned how the rhythm of a film shoot works and how to recognise patterns that emerge in a film shoot.

Some of the skills I have acquired as an AD in the last few years; setting background, working with camera operators, coordinating with all HOD’s on a daily basis, working with the director and DOP communicating their thoughts and ideas to the 1st AD.

Also keen to learn more about production and open to undertaking a producer’s assistant or director’s assistant role.
